Multiple displayed columns in an LOV

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to have an LOV with more than 1 column of information being displayed?
Thanks, Larry

If you are only interested in displaying the columns you can always do it by creating the following query
select value_column, column1| |' '| |column2| |' '| |column3 display_column from tablename
this will give you multiple values in display column eg.
select 'gsmith' username, 'Gregory'| |' '| |'Smith' fullname from dual;
results in LOV which would display Gregory Smith

Combining Multiple Display Values in a LOV

Using Application Express 3.1.0.00.32
I am attempting to create a dynamic LOV that will select an employees name from a table. The first, last and middle initial are in separate columns in the table. Since I am new to this I tried the following code when attempting to create the LOV:
select
last_name d, first_name d, middle_initial d, emple_no r
from
schema.table
order by
last_name
Doing so created the following error:
+1 error has occurred+
* 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.
I was unable to find a solution to this specific problem while searching.
What I am wishing to create is to have the LOV display the employees last name, first name and middle init sorting by last name by saving the employee's id in the table.

select
last_name || ', ' ||first_name || ' ' || middle_initial d, emple_no r
from
schema.table

IBrowser - Showing multiple display columns

Hi,
I have an IBrowser in which I would like to display multiple columns from my query. There are 4 in total that I would like to see in a tree format.
I have specified which columns I want to see, however when I execute the IBrowser I am only seeing two columns and not the 4.
Is there something I am not doing correctly.
Thanks
Martin

How to show the LOV display column in a field of type ''popup''

Hi All,
I've defined a form (no matter table/master-details/procedure) with a text item of type "popup", and have chosen a specific LOV.
At runtime, after the user chooses a value within that field, He sees the return column, (not the display column) of the LOV.
This behavior is different in field type combobox,
where the user sees the display column, ( this is the expected behavior when dealing with LOVs ).
How can I, in a popup type field, show the user the LOV display column rather than its code ?
Any help will be appreciated !

I had a Tar on this a while ago. Oracle's response is that's the way it is, but :
The problem is that form is storing the ID in the table but when customer queries the form, the ID is displayed, which means nothing to the user.
This is working as it should by design.
An alternative is to add a non-database field to the form to display the name based on the ID fetched from the table or to build the form in a manner that it will query
from both tables, the one storing the ID and the one storing the name, as a loookup table.
Suggested review Notes: 125272.1, 124072.1, 263923.1.
I believe Note:125272.1 would work for you if you have a primary LoV displaying the name but populating the ID from the first table. The second LoV can query from the table storing the name (instead of making it a non-database column). When the first LoV is used, the second will be refreshed, displaying the actual name on the for
m on your non-database field, just for display purposes.

Multi-Select LOV with multiple return columns

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible (and how) to return more columns from the LOV page the calling page. Default only 1 column is displayed in the LOV and 1 column is returned.
However it's easy to display an additional column in the LOV: Just copy the column tag change the binding column to display and change the prompt.
Furthermore in my situation I don't have a FK between the calling page and LOV. It's just a LOV which returns values which can be edited after.
Regards,
Marcel

Marcel,
In the upcoming release it will be possible to supply a comma-separated list in the 'Lookup Display Attributes' field, so that multiple fields are shown in the LOV.
When you use UIX and have an Entity Association to the Entity Object in the LOV, passing back multiple fields is already possible. But in your case, you will probably have to use your own javascript to implement this functionality.
Kind regards,

Report "Display Text (Based on LOV)" columns don't like colons - Bug?

This is a bit hard to explain in text, so I've built a sample app: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=9608:1
The app has two pages, which demonstrate two related bugs in the handling of Report "Display as Text (based on LOV)" columns.
Basically, if the LOV query returns a string that contains colon characters (":") in the display column, the values are matched up correctly, but the colons are stripped from the display.
If the LOV query returns a string that contains colon characters in the return value column, then the matching fails entirely.
Removing the colon characters eliminates the problem.
We actually ran into this in a production environment, after an upgrade from Apex 3.0.0 to 3.2.1. The behavior definitely did not occur in Apex 3.0, but was added at some point between the two versions.

The colon is actually part of our data (the field in question is a URN namespace).
And yes, I understand the function of the colon in Apex URL parameter passing. However, I wouldn't expect that sort of parsing to be used against the results returned from an LOV query.
Also, the LOV is fine in of itself -- a select list based on the LOV displays & returns the expected values. It's only when I use a report column based on an LOV that this behavior creeps in.
We've found a (fairly painful) workaround -- altering both the report query and the LOV query to to do something like replace(column, ':', '_') -- but that's a manual change to a large number of pages for us.
This behavior is new to version 3.2.1. It didn't happen in version 3.0.

Displaying data from multiple table/column

hello ..
anybody can help me how to diplaying data from multiple table/ column in PHP. TQ

Follow the "How do I SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE data from PHP?" example from http://wiki.oracle.com/page/PHP+Oracle+FAQ and change the "select ..." query to your favourite join, e.g.
select country_name, region_name from countries, regions where countries.region_id = regions.region_id;

Checkbox with more than one display column.

Hi.
I have a checkbox item which I reference in a process (stored procedure) in my page. I'd like to display more than one field for the item, in different columns.
The lov query allows only 2 fields, the display value and the return value.
For now I just concatenate the 2 display fields, but I would like to display them in 2 different columns.
Is this possible?
My other option would be to use a report and set the item type to a simple checkbox. Is it possible then to reference the values of the report checkbox in my process ?
Thanks in advance.

Any ideas anyone?

Sorting report by column based on LOV problem...

All,
I have an issue with a report I have written.
I have an LOV based on a sql where which returns an ID as a return value and a CODE as a display value.
Lets say the LOV returns the following results:
Return, Display
1, V
2, A
3, T
When I click on the item column heading to sort the report based on that column the records are in the order 1, 2, 3 and not A, T, V.
So it looks like it is sorting the results based on the return value and not the display value.
Is this a feature of displaying items based on LOVs in reports and then sorting on them or am I missing something.
Hopefully, someone can help me out here as it is driving me mad.
Regards
ChrisR

Chris,
This didn't change in 3.1 and that is definitely not a bug but a feature. The solution I
propose is a simple workaround for the special cases of LOV display columns or columns
where you have an image but still want to do sorting.

Multiple Data Columns in one report column

How do I list multiple columns returned from a select vertically within one report column. For instance, I have three statuses for a project that I want to list, I'd like to list the three statuses within one status column. I remember seeing this somewhere but cannot find it now. Example:
Status Column
Budget: Green
Schedule: Red
Issues: Yellow

additionally you could use HTML expressions. When editing your report, click on the column you want to use for displaying multiple data columns. This will take you to the report columns attributes page, there you can type in something like the following into the HTML expression field, referencing other report columns using #COLUMN_NAME# substitutions:
#BUDGET#
#SCHEDULE#
#ISSUES#
this is assuming your column aliases are named BUDGET, SCHEDULE and ISSUES. You can then just hide the columns that you don't want to see because the data is already shown using the HTML expression.

Marc

SQL Calendar using multiple date columns

Is there any way to have a Calendar look at more than one date column? I know that it is possible to have the calendar based on a range/interval, but I need to display multiple date columns e.g. Marketing Start Date and Sales Start Date. In the Calendar component it seems possible to only choose one 'Date Column'. Has anyone come across this or know of any workaround?

How do you import CSV, tab, and OFX files into multiple Numbers columns

This Apple function from Numbers '08 Help "Importing a Document" does not seem to work:
"You can create a new Numbers spreadsheet by importing a document created in Microsoft Excel or AppleWorks 6. Numbers can also import files in comma-separated value (CSV) format, tab-delimited format, and Open Financial Exchange (OFX) format."
No amount of experimenting with Import, Export, Save As, Paste and Match Style, or using other applications will enable importing CSV, tab, or OFX files into multiple Numbers columns. Instead, all data is imported into a single Numbers column, which then has to be manually and tediously parsed one data element at a time into columns, one row, and one column at a time.

Joe,
They all have worked here. I'm not presently able to try in Numbers 08, but I know I've done them all.
Just double-clicking a .csv file will open Numbers and display the data in a table. Dragging a .csv file to your Numbers icon on the Dock will open it as a Numbers table. Dragging it to a Sheet in an open Numbers document will make a new table in an existing document, and dragging to a table will insert the csv file into the table you dropped it into.
CAUTION
With Numbers '08, CSV files must use the comma as delimiter on every setting of decimal separator.
Numbers '09 behave differently.
With your tab-delimited file open in a word processor, copy it, then paste it into a table in an open Numbers document. When doing this, select a cell in the table, but don't double-click into the text field of the cell, then paste.
Why use this long road when we may import directly Tab Separated Values file (tsv.txt) with Numbers '08 (or '09) ?

Multiple Displays, Fullscreen Apps, and Mission Control

I love Lion, however one thing that has always bothered me was the fact that it doesn't play nicely with multiple displays. Full screen apps do not allow the other display(s) to be available for use with that app is in fullscreen mode. And Mission Control doesnt behave as expected with multiple displays.
A simple solution would be the following. When you have two displays side by side and you do a three finger swipe to the left, the contents in display 2 would then fill display 1, then the contents in desktop three, would fill display 2. So really, each display would have its own desktop rather than sharing one desktop from the other displays. If the user has different size displays, shrink the window to fit the display. This would also solve the fullscreen issue because the other display has its own desktop. Let me know what you think of this idea and if it can be implemented.
Honestly, this is getting pretty frustrating, so please Apple, fix this. Thank you.
