Need help on Dynamic SQL Cursor in Forms

Hi All,
I am trying to execute Dynamic SQL Cursor in forms using EXEC_SQL built in.
I have a cursor for example:
'select * from supplier where supplier = '||p_supplier||' and processing_order = '||p_order
My code is
cur_num := Exec_SQL.Open_cursor;
sql_order := 'select * from supplier where supplier = '||p_supplier||' and processing_order = '||p_order;
EXEC_SQL.PARSE(cursor_number, sql_order);
EXEC_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(cur_num ,1,ln_Supp_Id);
EXEC_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(cur_num ,2,ls_Suppl_Name,30);
EXEC_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(cur_num ,24,ls_exchange,20);
sql_count := EXEC_SQL.EXECUTE(cur_num );
While EXEC_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(cur_num ) > 0 Loop
        EXEC_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(cur_num ,1,ln_Supp_Id);
        EXEC_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(cur_num ,2,ls_Suppl_Name);
        EXEC_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(cur_num ,24,ls_exchange);
End Loop;
EXEC_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(cur_num );
In this case I have to write 24 Define Columns and 24 Column value. Is there any way to assign them to %rowtype at one time as I need all coulmn of the table.
I had similar case on multiple tables.
Please help me
Thanks,
Maddy

I need this dynamic sql because p_supplier and p_order values changes at run time
I do not understand. Is this a simplified sample or the real thing? You do know that you can pass variables to cursors:
cursor test is
select * from supplier where supplier = p_supplier and processing_order = p_order;
or does e.g. p_supplier hold other parts of the query?
cheers

Need Help on PL/SQL Cursor

Hi friends ,
I am getting 3 columns from one table thr cursor,
At the same time I am getting 7 columns from another one table.
Now I am comparing the 1st tables first_name with the 2nd tables firs_name
as
FOR I IN C_DS_OP_M_USER_MAP LOOP
V_COUNT := 0;
FOR J IN C_SI_OP_M_USER LOOP
          IF (I.FIRST_NAME = J.FIRST_NAME) AND (I.LAST_NAME = J.LAST_NAME) AND (I.USER_CODE = J.USER_ID) THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('MATCHES ' ||I.USER_CODE||' '||I.FIRST_NAME||' '||I.LAST_NAME);
V_COUNT := V_COUNT+1;
END IF;
     END LOOP;
IF V_COUNT = 0 THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('NOT MATCHES '|| I.USER_CODE ||' '|| I.FIRST_NAME ||' '|| I.LAST_NAME);
END IF;
But the problem is , I couldn't get the first record comparison only, all the other records are being displayed correctly.
Please help me to recover this problem.
Thank you

Where is the other END LOOP in the procedure?
Moreover, I think it is better if you achaive this using joins.
declare
cursor c1 as select a.col1, b.col2, a.col2
from a, b
where a.col1 = b.col1
and a.col2 = b.col2
and a.col3 = b.col3;
v_val number := 0;
begin
   for r1 in c1 loop
      dbms_output.put_line(col1||','col2||','||col3);
      v_val := v_val +1;
   end loop;
   if v_val = 0 then
      dbms_output.put_line('No matches');
   end if;
end;Cheers

How can I execute Dynamic SQL statement in Forms?

Hi All,
I have to execute dynamic SQL statement from Forms
Below statement I have to execute
"EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_stmt INTO v_return;".
Googled for the same got results saying, Better use Database function or procedures to execute these Dynamic Statements but We want to execute in forms only.
Can any one help me..
Thanks,
Madhu

So in short you are trading code obfuscation for maintainability and the ability to share code between tools? If from somewhere else you need a procedure already implemented in database PL/SQL (and now ported to forms) this would mean you'd need to implement it in every other tool. In times where you might want to integrate your forms with $other_technology and putting stuff on the database is the first step to share functionality you just go the opposite way? And all that because someone is afraid that somebody might steal your source code? I am sorry to be blunt, but this is just plain stupid.
Leaving aside that some things like Analytic Functions, Bulk processing or execute immediate are not even available in forms your software consists of how many LOC? How long does it take to bring a new developer up to speed with your source code? Imagine how long that would take for a developer who doesn't have coleagues who know their way around.
And just so you know: I work for a ISV selling a closed-source product as well. We have 200+ customers all over the planet. We are well aware that wrapped packages can be reverse engineered. The premise is: stored procedures can be reused in every tool we have, if it makes sense to put stuff on the database by all means do it. If someone would want to reverse engineer our software I'd wish him good luck as some parts are implemented in such a hilarious complicated way I have troubles understanding them (and quite frankly I refuse to understand certain parts, but that's another story). I do work for almost 10 years for that ISV.
In any case the possible solutions have already been mentioned: you have exec_sql, create_group_from_query and forms_ddl to execute dynamic SQL in forms whereas forms_ddl is a one way street and most certainly not the thing you need or want. Take a look at the documentation for the other 2 things.

Hi,
Are the results you posted really what you want given the sample data you posted? If looks like all the report_dates in the sample data are in July, 2011, so I don't see how you get non-0 values in the other columns.
To automatically get the most recent 13 months, you can do something like this:
WITH   got_month_num       AS
     SELECT     status, description, member_count
     ,     MONTHS_BETWEEN ( TRUNC (SYSDATE,     'MONTH')
                      , TRUNC (report_date, 'MONTH')
                      )            AS month_num
     FROM    monthly_membership_report_834
     WHERE     report_date     >= ADD_MONTHS ( TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MONTH')
                                  , -12
     AND     report_date     < ADD_MONTHS ( TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MONTH')
                                  , 1
SELECT       status,       description
,       MAX (DECODE (month_num, 0, member_count, 0))     AS m0
,       MAX (DECODE (month_num, 1, member_count, 1))     AS m1
,       MAX (DECODE (month_num, 11, member_count, 0))     AS m11
,       MAX (DECODE (month_num, 12, member_count, 0))     AS m12
FROM       got_month_num
GROUP BY status,       description
ORDER BY status,       description
;Output from the sample data you posted:

Need help in dynamic report for a range of year and period

Dear all,
I need help in creating an ALV report with dynamic columns based on the Year and period entered on the selection screen. for example if in the year we enter 2002 and period range from 10 to 12 then we should get the 3 columns display for cost(example) for period 10/2002, 11/2002 and 12/2002.
Can anyone help me in achieving this dynamically since the user can enter the year also in intervals along with the period and data also needs to be populated in the corresponding columns.
An example code would be of great help.
Thanks,
Amit

2. The major purpose is to get a simplest way to create a parameterized function who can return a table like output. 2nd function has no use instead i was testing the result of First Function like thisIf you just want to select from a select, you should use a view not a function.
1. which program is more help ful for writing and executing queries bcoz after using Query Analyzer of Microsoft It seems difficult to work on SQL Developer.
sqlplus? If you are having difficulty learning new tools because of an old one you used, probably best to forget the old one and concentrate on learning the new one because it will be different. This goes for the database itself also.
2. Can DMLs be used within a Function.Yes, you just can't execute the function in another SQL statement if it modifies data and this is a good thing.
3. Can temporary tables be used within a function.Unfortunately yes, but they shouldn't be unless you are in a slowest application competition.
5. Each Function which is a Table Function must be accompanied with Type Definitions?? its a bit longer way of doing the things than SQL ServerThat is why it is better to use views instead, is there any reason you want a select that you can select from inside a function?
SQL Server for last 9 years thats why i refer this toolThat is not in itself a problem, if you try and do what you did in SQLServer in Oracle, that will be a problem though.

Oracle to MS SQL porting - dynamic sql - cursors

I have a stored procedure written for oracle which needs to be ported to MS SQL. Used SSMA to do that but the dynamic sql statements are not getting ported and are the same. Below is a dynamic sql from the SP after making changes with SSMA.

' c table_name%rowtype;'

you can use for loop instead

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

Need help on my SQL statement

Hello experts,
I need to write a dynamic sql statement which will enable users to pick the date and the BI system will take them 3 months back. I tried 3 months variables I kept getting SQL error then I tried 90 days. Now it keep showing that there is no data which for sure I know its not trure.
This is my statement: +"GL Calendar"."Fiscal Date" >=timestampadd(SQL_TSI_DAY,-90, timestamp'@{ABCcost}{2013-05-16 00:00:00}')AND("GL Calendar"."Fiscal Date">=timestamp'@{ABCcost}{2013-05-16 00:00:00}')+
Anything that Im missing..

Rayan,
I am not sure if I am following you, cause we want to enable the user to pick whatever date and then from there they will get 3 months back and the rest of their info. I tried it didn't work, may be I placed at wrong place
Can you probably copy my statement above and insert in-between.
thanks,

Need Help Writing Server side to submit form via API

Hey
I need help writing a serverside application to submit
information via API to a separate server.
I have a client that uses constant contact for email
campaigns. We want to add to her website a form taht submits the
information needed to subscribe to her email list, to constant
contact via API.
FORM.asp :: (i got this one under control)
name
email
and submits to serverside.asp
SERVERSIDE.ASP
In serverside.asp i need to have
the API URL
(https://api.constantcontact.com/0.1/API_AddSiteVisitor.jsp)
username (of the constant contact account)
password (of the constant contact account)
name (submited from form.asp)
email (submitted from form.asp)
redirect URL (confirm.asp)
Can anyone help get me going in the right direction?
i have tried several things i found on the net and just cant
get anyone to work correctly.
One main issue i keep having is that if i get it to submit to
the API url correctly - i get a success code, it doesnt redirect to
the page i am trying to redirect to.
ASP or ASP.NET code would be find.
THANKS
sam

If you are submitting a form to a script on a remote server,
and letting
that script load content to the browser, YOU have no control
over what it
loads UNLESS there is some command you can send it that it
will understand.
No amount of ASP on your server is going to change what the
remote script
does.
http://www.constantcontact.com/services/api/index.jsp
they only allow their customers to see the instructions for
the API so i
can't search to see IF there is a redirect you can send with
the form info.
But posts on their support board say that there is.

Help with dynamic SQL

Hello,
I have the following function that works ok:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Get_Partition_Name (sTable VARCHAR2, iImportIndex INTEGER)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
cursor c is select A.partition_name from (select table_name, partition_name,
extractvalue (
dbms_xmlgen.
getxmltype (
'select high_value from all_tab_partitions where table_name='''
|| table_name
|| ''' and table_owner = '''
|| table_owner
|| ''' and partition_name = '''
|| partition_name
|| ''''),
'//text()') import_value from all_tab_partitions) A where table_name = sTable and A.import_value = iImportIndex;
sPartitionName VARCHAR(20);
err_num NUMBER;
BEGIN
open c;
fetch c into sPartitionName;
IF c%ISOPEN THEN
CLOSE c;
END IF;
RETURN sPartitionName;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
err_num := SQLCODE;
--save error in log table
LOG.SAVELINE(SQLCODE, SQLERRM);
END Get_Partition_Name;
I am trying to replace the cursor statement with dynamic SQL, something like (see below) but it doesn't work any more; I think I am missing some quotes.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Get_Partition_Name (sTable VARCHAR2, iImportIndex INTEGER)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
TYPE t1 IS REF CURSOR;
c t1;
sSql VARCHAR2(500);
sPartitionName VARCHAR(20);
err_num NUMBER;
BEGIN
sSql := 'select A.partition_name from (select table_name, partition_name,
extractvalue (
dbms_xmlgen.
getxmltype (
''select high_value from all_tab_partitions where table_name=''''
|| table_name
|| '''' and table_owner = ''''
|| table_owner
|| '''' and partition_name = ''''
|| partition_name
|| ''''''),
''//text()'') import_value from all_tab_partitions) A where table_name = :a and A.import_value = :b';
OPEN c FOR sSql USING sTable, iImportIndex;
fetch c into sPartitionName;
IF c%ISOPEN THEN
CLOSE c;
END IF;
RETURN sPartitionName;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
err_num := SQLCODE;
--save error in log table
LOG.SAVELINE(SQLCODE, SQLERRM);
END Get_Partition_Name;
Please advise,
Regards,
M.R.

Assuming the requirement is to find the partition in the supplied table with the supplied high value and the issue is that dba/all_tab_partitions.high_value is a long, one alternative along the same lines as you've done already is as follows. (I've just used a cursor rather than a function for simplicity of demo).
SQL> var r refcursor
SQL> set autoprint on
SQL> declare
2   ctx dbms_xmlgen.ctxhandle;
3   v_table_name VARCHAR2(40) := 'LOGMNR_USER$';

10            from   dba_tab_partitions

Need help on a sql query

Hi Friends,
I am trying to load Employees and their Assignments using APIs.
I have various columns in my staging table like Last Name, First Name, etc., but I need help in writing query in the cursor especially for columns Emp Number and Supervisor Number.
I have data as below
Emp_Number     Supervisor_Number
GE0002               GE0064
GE0064               EG0009
EG0009               EG0001
100009                EG0001
EG0001               TU0001
Cursor I write will process the data in the same order as above, but here the problem is...
When it processes first row, it checks for supervisor GE0064 which do not exist and so it errors out.
Similarly for second row, it checks for supervisor EG0009 which again do not exist and so it errors out.
So in order to prevent this, the cursor should process the rows as below
Emp_Number     Supervisor_Number
EG0001               TU0001
EG0009               EG0001
GE0064               EG0009
GE0002               GE0064
100009                EG0001
By this way, Supervisor should be defined first as an employee and then it can be used as a supervisor for other employees
is there a way that I can get the output as above(second set of data), when the table has records randomly as above(first set of data)
Appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Srikanth

Why did the number go up?
It's something only you can find out
Maybe some Emp have several Supervisor(s) like
with

select '100009','EG0001' from dual union all
select 'EG0001','TU0001' from dual
select Emp,Supervisor,lpad('_',3 * (level - 1),'_')||Emp indent
from (select Emp,Supervisor
          from t
        union all
        select supervisor,null
