Modifying the Inner Query Statement in FORMS 10g

Hi,
I have a form with a Search Criteria section. The user builds the search criteria by puting values in the ITEMS. Then I want to query the table USING the criteria entered by the user.
I know this is possible.
How would I modify ORACLE's query statement in the form.
I did this a VERY LONG time ago (forms 4.0), but don't remember how to !!!
Please Help,
Marc.

Hi ,
declare
   v_where varchar2(600);
begin
     v_where:='<your where statement>';
     SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY(<your_block_name>,DEFAULT_WHERE,V_WHERE);
     execute_query;
end;Greetings,

How to get the SQL Query statement of a Search Form ?

Hi all,
We have a requirement to send the query result of an ADF Search Form into report application (Crystal rpt).
Crystal can accept data source as query statement. SO I think of getting the exact query statement "generated" by the ADF Search form and send it to crystal.
Is this possible ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

Try the various get methods of the viewObject such as getQuery:

Modifying the sql query in doDML of entity

I am using Jdev 11.1.1.4.0 and SQLServer Database
I want to modify the sql query in "doDML(int operation, TransactionEvent e)"
I could check what kind of operation like (operation == DML_UPDATE) and do some additional stuff.. But I want to edit the query because of which we entered doDML..
I want to edit the query because when i use SQLServer database with SQLBuilder as SQL92, the update statement will have table alias like "update table <table alias>" which the SQLServer is not recognizing.. So I want to remove that alias from sql query in doDML..

It isn't possible.
However as per the following MSDN page a table alias is fine in an UPDATE statement so are you sure this is your problem?: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa260662(v=sql.80).aspx

How to get the report server name in Forms 10g.

How to get the report server name in Forms 10g.
I'm using the Application Server 10g 10.1.2.

Hello,
I do not think that you can get this value from anywhere. A solution is to put the Reports server name in an environment variable stored in the /forms/server/default.env file, then to query it at Forms runtime with the TOOL_ENV.Getvar() built-in.

How to replace the forms6i menu parameter in forms 10g after migration

Hai,
We have forms6i application and we are going to migrate forms6i into forms 10g .The forms 6i have the menu userdefine parameter.But forms 10g don't have the option. so please send me the suggesstion what we can do .Is there any alternative way.How to bring the same funtionality in forms 10g after the migration.pls reply me
THANKS

We had the same problem - you could develop a new form just to accept the necessary user input, but that might be overkill. We used Forms Editors, displaying them with an appropriate startup text e.g. 'Parameter1='. The user then types in the parameter, then we check the new Editor text and pull out the info we need.

Frm-40505:ORACLE error: unable to perform query in oracle forms 10g

Hi,
I get error frm-40505:ORACLE error: unable to perform query on oracle form in 10g environment, but the same form works properly in 6i.
Please let me know what do i need to do to correct this problem.
Regards,
Priya

Hi everyone,
I have block created on view V_LE_USID_1L (which gives the error frm-40505) . We don't need any updation on this block, so the property 'updateallowed' is set to 'NO'.
To fix this error I modified 'Keymode' property, set it to 'updatable' from 'automatic'. This change solved the problem with frm-40505 but it leads one more problem.
The datablock v_le_usid_1l allows user to enter the text (i.e. updated the field), when the data is saved, no message is shown. When the data is refreshed on the screen, the change done previously on the block will not be seen (this is because the block updateallowed is set to NO), how do we stop the fields of the block being editable?
We don't want to go ahead with this solution as, we might find several similar screens nad its diff to modify each one of them individually. When they work properly in 6i, what it doesn't in 10g? does it require any registry setting?
Regards,
Priya

Storing an Excel File in the Oracle Table through Oracle Form (10g)

Hi,
We have the below requirement in the Oracle Forms (10g).
Database: 11g
Application: R12
We need to provide an upload functionality to the user, so that he can upload an excel file into the form (from the local system), this is achived.
Now what we need to do is that we need to capture the path of the document (in the local system) and we need to store the document in a Oracle table.
Next we need to validate the records that are being loaded and the error records should be written into one more file and that file also we need to store in an Oracle table, this is because, i need to query this error file from the table later and need to send to the user as an e-mail.
Basically i started off with the below code just for the POC. but iam facing the error. Please help. I did not put this code in my form.
Create Table Email_Attachments(Id_Pk Integer Primary Key,Fname Varchar2(50),Image Blob);
Create Or Replace Directory Temp As 'C:\';

How to capture the Path from which he has loaded the file?
How to Write the error records it to the file and store it in an Oracle table?
Will the below table be of use to me?
fnd_lobs_document
fnd_lobs
fnd_documents
Please share your ideas as to how to acheive this.
Thanks and Regards
Srinivas

When you want to process the file, them it depends on the format. "Excel file" is a term that is used for a variety of file formats, mostly simple CSV, binary (true) XLS and XLSX.
So to get help you have to give us more information. Since the file is already in the db you might get better answers at {forum:id=75}. The forum has a FAQ that has a whole section {message:id=9360007}.

Query-by-example Forms 10g

Hi,
I'm kind of embarrassed to be asking such a basic question, but here goes.
In earlier versions of Forms, it was easy to put &A into a field, and on execute query, Forms would pop up a box, and you could write "&a is null" (or some other more complex query fragment) which allowed you do a query for situations were a field was null.
You can't seem to do this now in forms 10g.
You can still put "# is null" into a field if the query length is long enough I know, but I have seen no documentation on the loss of this query by example facility.
We're using v10.1.2 by the way.
As usual, any help gratefully received.
cheers
Tony

You're right ...
Found this : http://groundside.com/blog/DuncanMills.php?m=200407 (search for QBE on the page). Not sure what the setting is for 10g - I assume FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY
Otherwise it is as you say ...

How to Edit the Title (file name) on forms 10g Screen.

Hi ,
How can one edit the Title ,and <(file name)> on forms 10g Screen ....
I tried editing through the forms module preperty palette , but could n't change the Title, or file name on forms menu screen ...
I guess , the entries are made through some other means...
Please let me know on how to do this .
Need a quicker reply ..
Thanks in Advance
Sanu

using the below code too not getting me the new names entered by me ... still the old title names are comingWhat do you mean by new nemes? It will return you the actual file name which is saved in phycical location and form name will return you the module name which displays when you open forms in builder.
Or you mean something else then its better to provide any example..like what is happening actually with you.

How to implement the spell check in oracle forms 10g or 6i...

How to implement the spell check in oracle forms.
Is there any different method is there.
Please help me....
Praveen.K

Here is one different from Jspell..
In 6i client/server you can call MS Word spell checker using OLE. Below sample code for 6i.
For 10g you will need webutil to use same code. install webutil and just replace "OLE2." with "CLIENT_OLE2."
PROCEDURE spell_check (item_name IN VARCHAR2)
IS
   my_application   ole2.obj_type;
   my_documents     ole2.obj_type;
   my_document      ole2.obj_type;
   my_selection     ole2.obj_type;
   get_spell        ole2.obj_type;
   my_spell         ole2.obj_type;
   args             ole2.list_type;
   spell_checked    VARCHAR2 (4000);
   orig_text        VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
   orig_text := NAME_IN (item_name);
   my_application := ole2.create_obj ('WORD.APPLICATION');
   ole2.set_property (my_application, 'VISIBLE', FALSE);
   my_documents := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'DOCUMENTS');
   my_document := ole2.invoke_obj (my_documents, 'ADD');
   my_selection := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'SELECTION');
   ole2.set_property (my_selection, 'TEXT', orig_text);
   get_spell :=ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'ACTIVEDOCUMENT');
   ole2.invoke (get_spell, 'CHECKSPELLING');
   ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'WholeStory');
   ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'Copy');
   spell_checked := ole2.get_char_property (my_selection, 'TEXT');
   spell_checked :=SUBSTR (REPLACE (spell_checked, CHR (13), CHR (10)),1,LENGTH (spell_checked));
   COPY (spell_checked, item_name);
   args := ole2.create_arglist;
   ole2.add_arg (args, 0);
   ole2.invoke (my_document, 'CLOSE', args);
   ole2.destroy_arglist (args);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_selection);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (get_spell);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_document);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_documents);
   ole2.invoke (my_application, 'QUIT');
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_application);
END;Call it like this: SPELL_CHECK ('BLOCK.MY_TEXT_ITEM' );

Issue with case when try to modify the siimple query

Hello PL/SQL Gurus/Experts,
I am stuck with an issue (could be simple) but not gettings any headsway -
select 365/day_num_yr Anul_Fact from Date where date_dt = trunc(sysdate -1) value returns is as - 1.46
need to write this in the form of case (as i need to multiply this to some other outer query), i want to store it ina variable and and then use the same in outer one -
but when use the following then it is always returning the value as 0 and not the same output as returned by the above query without case.
select (case when date_dt =trunc(sysdate -1) then 365/day_num_yr else 0 END) Anul_Fact Kindly help, i appericate your time and effort in advance.

Thanks for providing the Drop table and CTAS script. It eased the job of creating sample data;
I only used few data from the table:
drop table T4;
create table T4(day_num_yr, date_dt) as
select 249, to_date('09/05/2012', 'MM/DD/YYYY') from dual union all
select 250, to_date('09/06/2012', 'MM/DD/YYYY') from dual union all
select 251, to_date('09/07/2012', 'MM/DD/YYYY') from dual union all
select 252, to_date('09/08/2012', 'MM/DD/YYYY') from dual;
select date_dt, sysdate - 1 prev_dt, trunc(sysdate - 1) trunc_prev_dt,
       case when date_dt = trunc(sysdate - 1) then 365 / day_num_yr
            else 0
       end num_day
from t4;
DATE_DT                   PREV_DT                   TRUNC_PREV_DT             NUM_DAY
05-SEP-12                 06-SEP-12                 06-SEP-12                 0
06-SEP-12                 06-SEP-12                 06-SEP-12                 1.46
07-SEP-12                 06-SEP-12                 06-SEP-12                 0
08-SEP-12                 06-SEP-12                 06-SEP-12                 0See the output. For Date_DT as 6-Sep, i.e. a Day before Today, we are getting the Output, but for other dates we are not.
One another suggestion I would like to make is, (assuming) you are using the Table only for storing the Current day of Year and not including Public Holidays etc. then you can use a 'DDD' format model to get the Current Day of year starting 1 Jan.
Something like below:
select date_dt, sysdate - 1 prev_dt, trunc(sysdate - 1) trunc_prev_dt,
       case when date_dt = trunc(sysdate - 1) then 365 / to_char(date_dt, 'DDD')
            else 0
       end num_day
from t4;

Note:in the actual out put max(lastpayment date) is returing null values. if there is any date in one billing return that date only remove null example is september. in september it should return only 09/13/10 this date not null date. but if there is no other within one biling then consider that as null example november..

Using the inner query to filter outer query

hi
i've tried finding an old post on this, but there's nothing quite what im looking for. I have an inner query which gets sales totals, and an outer query with an outer join to return all the weeks (even when there are no sales):-
select wk.week_id,sum(sales_total)
from (select week, sum(sales) sales_total from tbl_sales_A
where week between 0801 and 0807
group by week
UNION ALL
select week, sum(sales) sales_total from tbl_sales_B
where week between 0801 and 0807
group by week)
, tbl_weeks wk
WHERE
wk.week_id=week(+)
AND wk.week_id BETWEEN 0801 AND 0807
GROUP BY wk.week_id
this gives me the following results:-
week_id sales
0801 0
0802 0
0803 55
0804 66
0805 96
0806 0
0807 97
I would like my query to only return results from the first week sales are made i.e. 0803. The results would like this:-
0803 55
0804 66
0805 96
0806 0
0807 97
How do i write my query so that it does this???
Many thanks for your time.

Would it be faster to use a trigger or modify the insert query?

We have a table that currently has latitude, longitude columns and are trying to decide what route to go as far as adding spatial data to future records. A spatial index will be placed on the new column.
There appear to be 3 solutions:
1 Create a materialized view which creates the spatial column based on the current latitude and longitude columns.
2 Create a trigger on the table that will populate the new spatial column on insert/update.
3 Modify the code to insert a spatial value into the new spatial column.
Due to the nature of the data we are not willing to use method 1.
What we are trying to figure out is which method, 2 or 3, will insert faster.
Has anyone done tests to determine if an insert with a spatial object is slower than an insert on a table with a trigger that creates a spatial object?
Thanks,
Pat

Pat,
Note that you don't need to store latitude, longitude in sdo_geometry type in order to spatially index it. Instead you can create a function that returns an sdo_geometry based on two numeric columns, then create a function based index on that. Its described here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11830/sdo_exten.htm#i1005799
Also note that in the sdo_geometry type, you need to define the data as longitude/latitude and not the other way around.
If you do want to create a column with sdo_geometry column, I'd recommend your third option. As a general principle I avoid triggers unless absolutely necessary. Triggers invariably lead to confusion when you (or someone else) revisits this code in the future. Also the change of context between and SQL and PL/SQL has a performance hit. Here's a simple test:
SQL> CREATE TABLE long_lat_no_trigger (
2     geometry                SDO_GEOMETRY);
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> CREATE TABLE long_lat_with_trigger (
2     longitude               NUMBER,
3     latitude                NUMBER,
4     geometry                SDO_GEOMETRY);
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER long_lat_to_geometry
2 BEFORE INSERT ON long_lat_with_trigger FOR EACH ROW
3 DECLARE
4 BEGIN
5     :new.geometry := SDO_GEOMETRY(2001, 8307, SDO_POINT_TYPE(
6     :new.longitude, :new.latitude, NULL), NULL, NULL);
7 END;
8 /
Trigger created.

SQL> SET TIMING ON
SQL> INSERT INTO long_lat_no_trigger (geometry) (
2     SELECT
3     SDO_GEOMETRY(2001, 8307, SDO_POINT_TYPE(

5     NULL), NULL, NULL)

7     CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 1000000);
