Nested Tables and Multiple Pages

Hi,
I have a problem with nested tables that span multiple pages.
Lets assume I want to create a list of orders. Each order contains several order items. As long as an order contains less order items than fit to one page the list is rendered correctly. But if an order contain more items all items that can´t be displayed at the first page are cut off.
I´ve tried so many combinations of subforms with flow content and position content, subform sets and "Allow Page Breaks within Content" as well as Layout Property "Expand to fit" but nothing helped.
Can someone tell me if and how I can achieve this. In the meantime I do work in Designer directly with a XML datasource. So I could send you the form and example data.
I´m working with NW04 SP11 and Adobe Designer 6.0
Best regards
Helmut

Hello Helmut,
There are some limitations and bugs in your requirement.
Please see the output after copying into notepad.
1.Eventhough if you give overflow leader , the headers for item table will not repeat.it is a bug.this is not solved in designer 7.1 also.
2.There are some accessibilty bugs in case of nested table.
Please follow the below design in the hierachy tab.
MainTable (subform)
 |---- Header (subform)
 | |- Header texts for Main table +
 | |- Text for nested table
 |---- DATA_main (subform)
 |-Main table fields
 |-ITEMDATA ( Table SUBFORM)
 |-Header (Subform)
 | |-ItemHeader texts
 |-DATA_item (subform)
 |-Item data fields
for DATA_main and DATA_item subforms, set repeat count MIN in binding tab.Set all flow content and allow page break with in the content.
The output will appear in the following manner.
( Copy the below text into the notepad. )
Order no. text customer
 Order items
=================================================================
1 Computer Mr. Smith
 Order item no. short text quantity price
 10 PC Tower 1 400.00
 20 LCD Display 1 200.00
 30 Keyboard 1 15.00
 40 Mouse 1 10.00
2 Notebook Mrs. Parker
 Order item no. short text quantity price
 10 HP Notebook 1 600.00
 20 Ext. hard drive 1 80.00
let me know if u didnt get the solution.
Thanks and Regards,

Tables and Multiple Pages

Hello, I'm a beginner user of InDesign, using CS5, and am needing some help with tables.
I'm creating a schedule for an event. I have a 4 page, facing-pages, each page is letter-sized with vertical orientation. I'm inputting the schedule data into a table because that seems to be the easiest way to keep everything aligned and easy to re-organize. My table begins in the lower-half of Page 1, and runs to the bottom of Page 3.
My questions:
1) On Page 2 and 3, if I adjust the column width the width is automatically updated on the facing page (e.g. width change on Page 3 auto-updates Page 2). However on Page 1 the width remains the same. Anyway to have it update as well? The text in the tables is linked (e.g. can push text from Page 1 to Page 2)
2) On each Page I merged the first row of cells to create a 'Date' header (e.g. March 4 2011). As changes are made to the schedule (e.g. events added or removed), and because the text between the 3 pages/tables linked together, sometimes the Date header from Page 3 appears on Page 2, so I then have to repeatedly shorten the height of the Page 2 table so that the Page 3 Date header is 'pushed' to Page 3 properly. Anyway to force a certain row to appear on Page 3? I guess I could create a stand-alone table for Page 3, but then if I adjust column width, it won't be automatically changed on Page 2 anymore.
Thanks!

How do I run a table over multiple pages?

Hi I write TV scripts using a simple two column table which can be many rows long - how can I get Pages to automatically run the table over multiple pages whilst still allowing me to cut and paste and rearrange the script? This is simple in Word and must work in pages but I can't work out how to get it to work. I've tried looking at the Page Break feature but it won't come up from the table?
many thanks

At this time, There is no way to drive tables in Pages with AppleScript.
Do your job in Numbers which allow that.

Nested Tables and Advanced Queues- Please Help.

How do i work with NestedTable type and Advanced Queue.
I have done the following
I have Oracle 8.1.7 enterprise edition.
create type myType as TABLE OF varchar(32);
create type myObject as OBJECT (
id int,
myt myType);
DECLARE
BEGIN
dbms_aqadm.create_queue_table(
queue_table => 'my_queue_table',
multiple_consumers => TRUE,
queue_payload_type => 'myObject',
compatible => '8.1.3'
END;
The Nested Table and Object are created successfully.
but the queue is not created.
I get the following message.
DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22913: must specify table name for nested table column or
attribute
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_AQADM_SYS", line 2012
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_AQADM", line 55
ORA-06512: at line 3
I know how to specify the nested table storage clause for
create table statement, but there is no provision for
it in the create_queue_table procedure.
Any help will be greately appriciated.
i have already created and tested aqs with simple data types,
also i have created simple tables with nested table type
elements.
but the combo of Nested tables and AQ is not working.
thanks in advance.

Hi Francois. Thank you very much for your reply, but it seems that i still get errors. So let me tell what i have done.
As you suggested me: i have done a block based on a sub-query for the nested-table:
'select courses from department where name= :department.name'.
In the master block(department) i have the when-new-record-instance trigger:
Declare
LC$Req varchar2(256);
Begin
LC$Req := '(select ns.courses from table
( select courses from department where name = ''' || :DEPARTMENT.name || ''' ) ns )';
Go_block('block11');
Clear_Block ;
Set_Block_Property( 'block11', QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME, LC$Req ) ;
Execute_query ;
End ;
Now the errors i receive, this time in the runtime mode are:
- FRM-41380: Cannot set the blocks query data source
-FRM-41003: This function cannot be performed here.
Since it seems that you know how to work with the nested table i would really appreaciate your help. I am new in the nested table and if you could give an ex with my tables it would be great.
Thank you in advance.

Unable to export nested tables and vaarys

Hai
How to export nested tables and varrays in oracle 8i (8.1.6) .When exporting nested tables and varrays not exporting .What is the advantage use of nested tables and varrays
Thanks in advance
mohan

Hello,
I think that with such a new release you should use DataPump (expdp/impdb) to
export Tables.
For exporting a complete Schema you may use the following syntax:
expdp {color:red}+user+{color}/{color:red}+password+{color} PARFILE=pfexport.txt_With pfexport.txt as bellow:_
SCHEMAS={color:red}+schema_name+{color}
FLASHBACK_TIME="TO_TIMESTAMP(to_char(SYSDATE,'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')"
CONTENT=ALL
DIRECTORY=EXP_DIR
DUMPFILE={color:red}+dump_file_name+{color}
LOGFILE={color:red}+log_file_name+{color}Then, in this example, you'll get the "dump file" and the "log file" into the EXP_DIR Oracle directory (if it exists).
You can check your Oracle Directories with the following query:
select * from dba_directories;Then, you can use one of these Directories or create a new one with the following statement
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY {color:red}+directory_name+{color} AS '{color:red}+directory_path+{color}';
GRANT READ,WRITE ON DIRECTORY {color:red}+directory_name+{color} TO {color:red}+user_name+{color};Hope it can help,
Best regards,

Hi,
Varrays and nested tables are not supported within Forms6i and Reports6i. This means tare is no way to use it.

Nested Tables and Forms 9i-please help

Hi
i have the folowing example of a nested table:
CREATE TYPE CourseList AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10) -- define TABLE type
CREATE TYPE Student AS OBJECT ( -- create object
id_num INTEGER(4),
name VARCHAR2(25),

CREATE TYPE CourseList AS TABLE OF Course;
CREATE TABLE department (name VARCHAR2(20),
director VARCHAR2(20),
office VARCHAR2(20),
courses CourseList)
NESTED TABLE courses STORE AS courses_tab;
In Forms i have created a data block based on table department and for managing the nested table courses_tab i found out that i should use a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE procedure_nest (c_c out courses_tab%rowtype) IS
c_c courselist;
BEGIN
select c.name, c.director,office into :department.name, :department.director,
:department.office from department c , table
(select n.courses from department n where c.name =n.name and rownum<=1);
END;
compil error:

Not unless you provide the code you are actually using.
There is no definition of 'p_code_result' in your post and you say you 'trying to select data from d_table' but there is no code that loads 'd_table' in what you posted.
And the SELECT query you posted actuall selects from an object named 'l_loop_idag_code_table1' which isn't mentioned in your code.
Post the actual code you are using and all of the structures being used.
Also explain why you even need to use nested tables and PL/SQL for whatever it is you are really doing.

Well you are doing almost everything wrong that could be done wrong.
Here is code that works to insert data into your table (the procedure isn't even needed).
declare
p_sl_num NUMBER := 1001;
p_description VARCHAR2(50) := 'Testing Val1';
inval1 test_type1 := test_type1();
inval2 test_type2 := test_type2();
begin
inval1.extend();
inval1(1) := test_object1('testx1', 'testx2', 'testx3');
inval2.extend();
inval2(1) := test_object2('testy1', 'testy2', 'testy3');
INSERT INTO test_object_tpe
sl_num,
description,
main_val1,
main_val2
VALUES
(p_sl_num, p_description, inval1, inval2);
commit;
end;
/See Example 5-15 Referencing a Nested Table Element in Chap 5 Using PL/SQL Collections and Records in the PL/SQL doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28370/collections.htm#CJABEBEA
1. You don't even need the procedure since all it does is a simple INSERT into the table which you can do directly (see my code above)
inval1(1).val1 := 'testx1';There is no element one (1) of 'inval1' since you haven't created any elements yet. You need to EXTEND the collection to add an element
inval1.extend();And then there is an empty element but 'inval1' is a container for objects of type 'test_object1' not for scalars like 'val1', 'val2', and 'val3'.
So you can't do
inval1(1).val1 := 'testx1';You have to create an instance of 'test_object1'
inval1(1) := test_object1('testx1', 'testx2', 'testx3');And so on for the other collection
You don't need the procedure (as my sample code shows) but once you populate the variables properly it will work.

Dynamic tables and conditional page break

I have inserted a table in my form and have included an Add New Row button to insert additonal rows. I want a maximum of 16 rows added with a subtotal field. I want the table, then to automatically go to a new page with a subtotal field. At the end of all pages I want to include a total field. The table goes to the next page after a number of rows are entered, but there is not a break; the original form continues. How do conditionally break the page and have a (new) table display in the second page?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for working with me on this. I have sent a copy to the gmail.com address. I'm new to LiveCycle, so please forgive me.

Subject: dynamic tables and conditional page break
You can accomplish that with a single table and some creative script. I suggest that you get the table worked out and working correctly then we can add in the page totals and final total afterwards. Once the table is ready email the form to mailto:[email protected] and I will put together a sample for you that shows what to do. Please include a description of what you want to do with the email as the mail message and this forum are not tied together. Also if you have a data file that fills out the table that would be useful as well.

JSP: DispalyTag - Nested table and rows

Hi!
I�d like to know if it�s possibile create new row with dispalytag.
I have a nested table (and long list), but I�d like to have the items under the header, not items in a column of the header. I tried with <tr> but doesn�t work.
Is it possibile to creat a row? And how??? I thought I must use decorators (org.displaytag.model.Row) but when I run my application it doesn't work.
Can you help me?
Thanks
Annalisa

Thanks for the quick response. I was thinking I might get a response from someone who had tried it, so I didn't waste time trying it myself. I consider your response is pretty authoritative, and I'll take that as a sign that I should forget the nested tables design.
No, polymorphic views probably won't do the job. I think I'll just go ahead and create staging versions of each detail table with foreign keys back to the master staging table. Then I'll let the wizard create the needed association objects and view links in ADF BC. It will complicate the procedure for applying changes, particularly adding a row to the change history table. But that's the price we'll need to pay.
OTOH - I just had a thought - since the change history table is mostly for auditing, it appears in some reports, but has no CRUD in the application, other than the insert when the changes are applied. If I did that insert with a trigger or some other PL/SQL, then the change history could still be a single table with nested table columns for the details.

Querying Nested Tables with Multiple other Tables

I am trying to query columns from a table and it's nested table and do a join to another table.
SELECT IM.*,
IMP.PROGRAM_ID,
S.STAGE_NAME
FROM TB_ITEM_MASTER IM , TABLE(TB_ITEM_MASTER.PROGRAMS) IMP, TB_STAGE S
WHERE S.STAGE_ID = IM.STAGE_ID
AND IM.PROGRAM_ID IN(1,2);
When running this query I receive the error:
ORA-00904:"TB_ITEM_MASTER"."PROGRAMS": Invalid Identifier
I actually copied this query straight from an Oracle Documentation, just replaced my table names with theirs. This query will almost be like a template to me as the program_id field in the Nested table is very cruicial to me. I will joining many tables to TB_ITEM_MASTER and using the where clause against program_id. What's the problem here?
Please advise.
ps. Did I mention how much I hate working with this Nested table stuff:(

Performance impact using nested tables and object

Hi,
Iam using oracle 11g.
While creating a package, iam using lot of nested tables created based on objects which will be passed between multiple functions in the package..
Will it have any performance impact since all the data is stored in the memory.
How can i measure the performance impact when the data grows ?

Oracle User

This is not client code that can lay sole claim to most of the memory. It is server code and one of many server processes that need to share the available resources. So capitalism is fine on a client, but you need socialism on the server? {noformat} ;-) {noformat}
Will it have any performance impact since all the data is stored in the memory.Interestingly yes. Usually crunching data in memory is better. In this case it may not be so. The memory used is the most expensive memory Oracle can use - the PGA. Private process memory. This means each process copy running that code, will need lots of memory.
If you're not passing the data structures by reference, it means even bigger demands on memory as the data structure needs to be copied into the call stack and duplicated.
The worse case scenario is that such code consumes so much free server memory, and make such huge demands on having that in pysical memory, it trashes memory management as the swap daemons are unable to keep up with the demand of swapping virtual memory pages into and out of memory. Most CPU time is spend by the swap daemons.
I have seen servers crash due to this. I have seen a single PL/SQL process causing this.
How can i measure the performance impact when the data grows ?Well, you need to look at the impact of your code on PGA memory. It is not SQL performance or I/O performance that is a factor - just how much private process memory your code needs in order to execute.
