LOV SQL query dependent on column value

Hi Gurus,
I have a tabular form, a column of which I would like to display as a dropdown whose list of values is a SQL query containing a where clause on another column value.
For example, say the tabular form displays questions, and that the answers to the different questions are to be picked in list of values that are different for each question. I have tried the following queries for the dropdown list of values:
1- select value_text, value_text from list_of_values_table where question_id=#QUESTION_ID#
2- select value_text, value_text from list_of_values_table where question_id=:QUESTION_ID
3- select value_text, value_text from list_of_values_table where question_id=&QUESTION_ID.
In the 3 cases, I get an error when I run the application saying that the SQL statement is incorrect.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Guillauem

Anton,
Yes, I am creating a region based on a sql query. The query is the following:
select q.id quest_id, q.name, q.data_type_id, q.lov_flag, a.id answer_id, a.answer_text, a.org_id
from gwb_questions q left join gwb_answers a on q.id=a.question_id, gwb_answers ans right join gwb_orgs o on ans.org_id=o.id
where q.MODULE_ID=:P2_MODULE_ID and o.id=:P2_ORG_ID
Now, in the 'answer_text' column, I would like to display a dropdown containing values that come from a separate table and that depend on the value of the quest_id column. So in the Column Attributes for 'answer_text', I selected Select List (query based LOV) for the Tabular Form Element, and I entered the query mentioned before in the List of Values section (select value_text, value_text from list_of_values_table lov where lov.question_id= ?).
I am not using any API.
Does that make sense?
Thanks for your help,
Guillaume

Result of an SQL query as a Column name of another query

Hi Friends,
Can we use a result of a SQL Query as a column name of another table to retrieve data. If so please help me.
For eg :
I have a table where is store numbers;
select col1 from table1 where col1='5';
and i have another table where .. this value of col is a column name..
select ( select col1 from table1 where col1='5') from table2;
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.Do you really mean that?
select col1 from table1 where col1='5';That query will always return either '5' or nothing. Whatever you're trying to accomplish with that, you can do with an EXISTS query.
Perhaps you meant to reference two different columns in that query:
select col1 from table1 where col2='5';In that case, sorry, no, you can't do that without resorting to dynamic SQL.
If the same column is used throughout the query (but could change every time you run the query), then the dynamic SQL might be pretty easy. In SQL*Plus, for example, you could use substitution variables, defined in another query at run-time.
If there are only a few possible values that the sub-query could possibly return, and you know what they all are, then you can fake a dynamic query like this:
SELECT     CASE     ( SELECT col1
            FROM       table1
            WHERE       col2     = '5'
          WHEN 'BONUS'     THEN bonus
          WHEN 'COMM'     THEN comm
          WHEN 'SAL'     THEN sal
     END     AS col1
FROM     table2
;Sorry to give such a vague answer, but it's the best I can do with the information I have.
It would help if you posted a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statments for both tables), and the results you want to get from that data. If you want to pass a parameter to the query, give the results you want for a couple of different parameters.

SQL Query constructing for searching values in Tables single Column

I have Table USER_SERVICES with 2 Columns USER_NAME, Services. Please find below sample data on USER_SERVICES Table.
A user can be assigned with multiple services(service1, service2 etc.,). So we store data as below :
USER_NAME Services
user1 service1
user1 service2
user1 service3
user2 service1
user2 service2
user3 service3
user4 service4
I need to frame a SQL Query to 'select users assigned with Service A and Service B and Service n'.
Note: 'And' condition is used when Searching for multiple services.
Example: The SQL Query has to dynamically handle condition if i give Single Service, multiple Services(service1 and service2 e.t.c,)
If i say select users assigned with service1 and service2, from the above Table, result should be user1 and user2
If i say select users assigned with service1 and service2 and service3, from the above Table, result should be user1
If i say select users assigned with service4 from the above table, result should be user4
If i say select users assigned with service1 from the above table, result should be user2,user1
If i say select users assigned with service1 and service2 from the above table, result should be user2,user1
How do i construct the SQL Query. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sathish

How it will be stored? In a string or a table or a collection type?
If you have it in a table you can do like this.
with t
as
select 'user1' user_name, 'service1' services from dual union all
select 'user1', 'service2' from dual union all
select 'user1', 'service3' from dual union all
select 'user2', 'service1' from dual union all
select 'user2', 'service2' from dual union all
select 'user3', 'service3' from dual union all
select 'user4', 'service4' from dual
t1 as
select 'service1' services from dual union all
select 'service2' from dual
select distinct user_name
from (
select t.user_name, t.services, t1.services, count(t1.services) over(partition by t.user_name) cnt, t1.cnt cnt_1
from t
left join (select t1.*, count(*) over() cnt from t1) t1 on t1.services = t.services
where cnt = cnt_1

Thanks for Your help.
The date is in fact a CHAR display (not really a date) so that is not the error.
For your information when i select a row in the list (format char YYYYMMDD_HHMM) it seems that Apex do not catch my select in the Session state.
I've change the item name with P2_DATE_FLOW but the problem remain.

Order query depending on column names passed at runtime

Hi
Can any one suggest how to order by at run time depending on column name passed as parameter.
create or replace procedure dummy_proc( p_orderby varchar2,p_refcursor out sys_refcursor)
is
begin
     open p_refcursor for select * from
     emp where Status='A'
          order by (select p_orderby from dual);
end;
--execution part for testing
declare
     v_outcursor sys_refcursor;
     v_rec_data emp%rowtype;
     v_cnt number;
begin
     dummy_proc ('ename,sal',v_outcursor);
     begin
          loop
               fetch v_outcursor into v_rec_data;
               v_cnt:=v_outcursor%rowcount;
               exit when v_outcursor%notfound;
               dbms_output.put_line('empno '|| to_char(v_rec_data.empno));
               dbms_output.put_line('empno '|| v_rec_data.ename);
          end loop;
     end;
     dbms_output.put_line('Count is'|| to_char(v_cnt));
end;
we do not want to something like below as my actual query is very big with union statements and case expressions, (below is just an similar example)
how i tried to order by but its not working.
v_sql='select * from emp where empno= '|| p_empno || ' order by '|| p_orderby;
open p_refcursor for v_sql;
Thanks in advance

open p_refcursor for v_sql;I agree, you really don't want to do that, you want to use BIND VARIABLES.
v_sql := ' select * from emp where empno = :bound_empno order by :bound_orderby';
open p_refcursor for v_sql using p_empno, p_orderby;
[pre]
The size of the statement shouldn't come in to play, if the only dynamic portion of it is the order by clause then declare a constant which is the large query (you can use a LONG datatype) and then concatenate in the order by clause before you return the reference cursor.
Unless you can give a legitimate reason for why you cannot use Dynamic SQL (not why you do not want to use it) this would be my approach.
And please, if you don't know what a bind variable is...read about them, or your system will suffer.

Can Portal Report from SQL Query use where column IN (:bind_variable)

I would like to create a portal report from sql query with IN (:bind_variable) in the where clause. The idea is that the user would enter comma-separated or comma-quote-separated values for the bind_variable. I have tried this several ways but nothing seems to work. Can this be done?

Hi,
Which version of portal are you using. This is a bug. It has been fixed in 30984.

How to check the sql:query is return null value

I have use :
<sql:query var="sql1" dataSource="${db}">
select col_name from table_name
where a=<c:out value="${row.test1}"/>
and b='<c:out value="${row.test2}"/>'
</sql:query>
So, how can I check this statement return null value which is no record within this table?

The Result should never be null but can be empty. You can check if the Result is empty using an if tag and checking the rowCount property:
    <sql:query var="books"
      sql="select * from PUBLIC.books where id = ?" >
      <sql:param value="${bookId}" />
    </sql:query>
     <c:if test="${books.rowCount > 0}">

SQL Query to find cumulative values for a Financial Year

Dear users,
My requirement is to create a SQL query for a table/view where I have day-wise data. I want to find out cumulative values for financial year by giving any date. It should add the values from start of financial year till that date in the financial year.
I think creating a view of such type will post heavy burden on resources since accuimulation will be done for each day upto that day.

Thank you Scott,
I'm sorry, I should present you a reduce sql command.
I had construct my "long" sql command without concatenation. But, I decide to add a column just beside the other column.
After sending my message on OTN, I tried something else, I decided to copy my sql command without concatenation in an other region. I changed my sql command in the new region by adding my new column and this ''--'' and it works very well. Sometimes, It's really difficult to understand why it doesn't.
Thanks. Bye,

SQL query to store float values in french culture.

Here is how my requirement goes..
I have an application where users can store float values into the SQL server. Here float values are period(.) based. I have now started supporting the users who use the french culture where the float values are Comma(,) based. Example: 13.75 is represented
as 13,75. Instead of making changes to my code i.e the way i am inserting/retrieving the date now, is there a way i can handle this requirement based on culture. Like, if I specify the culture, will I be able to insert float inputs as comma(,) based values
without disturbing my existing code?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,
Chandrahas.
-Chandrahas

is there a way i can handle this requirement based on culture.
Hello Chandrahas,
SQL Server don't store any culture info for numeric values; they are plain numeric.
It's part of the frontend to represent / accept values depending on the culture setting of the client.

Need of SQL query in selecting distinct values from two tables

hi,
I need a query for selecting distinct values from two tables with one condition.
for eg:
there are two tables a & b.
in table a there are values like age,sex,name,empno and in table b valuses are such as age,salary,DOJ,empno.
here what i need is with the help of empno as unique field,i need to select distinct values from two tables (ie) except age.
can anybody please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Ratheesh

Not sure what you mean either, but perhaps this will start a dialog:
SELECT DISTINCT a.empno,
                a.name,
                a.sex,
                b.salary,
                b.doj
FROM    a,
        b
WHERE   a.empno = b.empno;Greg

Let's say the period is 21.10.2014. - 23.10.2014. and I want to get last recorded balance for box 1. for each day. The result should look like this:
Date Time Location Box Balance
21.10.2014. 15:00:34 1 1 1237
22.10.2014. 22:00:00 1 1 6742
23.10.2014. 23:57:12 1 1 25
So far I've managed to write a query that gives me balance for ONLY ONE date (date with highest time in whole table), but I need balance for EVERY date in specific period.
My incorrect code (didn't manage to implement "BETWEEN" for dates...):
SELECT TestTable.[Date], TestTable.[Time], TestTable.[Location], TestTable.[Box], TestTable.[Balance]
FROM TestTable
WHERE Time=(SELECT MAX(Time)
FROM TestTable
WHERE Location=1 AND Box=1 );
Tnx!

FROM Test Table.
WHERE Time=(SELECT MAX(Time) FROM TestTable WHERE Location=1 AND Box=1 )
AND DATE = "2014-10-24";
