LOV with YEARS

Question

I want to display in any way (LOV or DATE PICKER) on a numeric field which should have years from 1950 to 2006.
Is there any predefined way (PICKER) or have to make a function and put result in LOV?
THX!

Answer 1

One option is to create a table with the years in it combined with a scheduled DBMS_JOB to add another year record at the appropriate time.
Another thing to look into s the use of the TABLE function. I cannot get HTML DB to accept the SELECT statement for the LOV.
  CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE num_table IS TABLE OF NUMBER;
  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f_table RETURN num_table
  IS
    v_numarray num_table := num_table();
  BEGIN
    FOR i IN 1 .. To_Number(To_Char(SYSDATE,'YYYY')) - (1950-1) LOOP
      v_numarray.EXTEND;
      v_numarray(i) := 1950+i-1;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN(v_numarray);
  END;
/The problem is I cannot get HTML DB to allow an LOV of
  SELECT column_value r, column_value d
    FROM TABLE(f_table)HTML DB (PL/SQL) is seeing the TABLE cast operator as an in-line query. I event create a view over this query and still had the error message
  LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need
  to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL  
  statement must not belong to the in-line query.Maybe one of the HTLM DB support people can help with the use of the TABLE cast operator in an HTML DB LOV SELECT statement?
