ORA-00904 ON A PLSQL QUERY RETURNING SQL QUERY ( NOT ALWAYS )

Running a classic report , we sometimes face the error :
<pre>failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
Even when using the same parameters, sometimes the report runs and some others we get the error.
The report is called by a url from a different page

  • Converting SQL Report Region to PLSQL Function Body Returning SQL Query

    All:
    I want to convert my SQL Report Region to a PLSQL-generated SQL Report Region so that I can eliminate where clauses dynamically and speed up my app, and also so that I can provide additional sorting options.
    <br><br>
    My problem is that I have lots of embedded single quotes that already are coded as 3 single quotes in the SQL Report Region. I am not sure at all how to code them within the PLSQL.
    <br><br>
    As example, here is one column from my query:
    <br><br>
    select decode(nvl(g.date_sub_1,g.date_rec_1), null, decode(g.article, 0, 'E', 1, 'U'), '< a href="javascript:unElevate( ' ' ' || g.grid || ' ' ',' ' ' || g.natca || ' ' ')">' || decode(g.article, 0, 'E', 1, 'U') || '< /a>') "Reverse" from g_table g
    <br><br>
    (Note that I added spaces within the code so it would display properly in the browser.)
    <br><br>
    To clarify, that's a double quote before javascript, and then 3 single quotes before the first concatenation group, then 3 single quotes after the second concatenation group, then 3 single quotes before the third, 3 single quotes after the fourth followed by an end-paren followed by a double quote etc.
    <br><br>
    My question is, what do I do with these triple-single quotes within PLSQL? Probably a no-brainer for the experienced folks, but I am thinking like a mobius strip at this point.
    <br><br>

    Scott,
    I think that feature was made for my situation! I keep getting
    Function returning SQL query: Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the generic columns checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing.
    (ORA-20001: Unable to bind :43 verify length of item is 30 bytes or less. Use v() syntax to reference items longer than 30 bytes. ORA-01006: bind variable does not exist)
    I did chop the query up into little bits, i.e.
    p_sql := p_sql || q'! ... !';
    p_sql := p_sql || q'! ... !';
    p_sql := p_sql || q'! ... !';
    return p_sql;
    But I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here.
    Thank you.

  • PL/SQL function body returning SQL query - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

    I'm attempting to dynamically generate a rather large SQL query via the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" report region option.  The SQL query generated will possibly be over 32K.  When I execute my page, I sometimes receive the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" which points to a larger than 32K query that was generated.  I've seen other posts in the forum related to this dynamic SQL size limitation issue, but they are older (pre-2010) and point to the 32K limit of the DNS (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE) and DBMS_SQL.  I found this post (dynamic sql enhancements in 11g) which discusses 11g no longer having the 32K size limitation for generating dynamic SQL.  Our environment is on 11gR2 and using ApEx 4.2.1.  I do not know which dynamic SQL method -- DNS or DBMS_SQL -- ApEx 4.2.1 is using.  Can someone clarify for me which dynamic SQL method ApEx uses to implement the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" option?
    As a test, I created a page on apex.oracle.com with a report region with the following source:
    declare
      l_stub varchar2(25) := 'select * from sys.dual ';
      l_sql  clob := l_stub || 'union all ';
      br     number(3) := 33;
    begin
      while length ( l_sql ) < 34000 loop
        l_sql := l_sql || l_stub || 'union all ';
      end loop;
      l_sql := l_sql || l_stub;
      for i in 1 .. ceil ( length ( l_sql ) / br ) loop
        dbms_output.put_line ( dbms_lob.substr ( l_sql, br, ( ( i - 1 ) * br ) + 1 ) );
      end loop;
      return l_sql;
    end;
    The dbms_output section is there to be able to run this code in SQL*Plus and confirm the size of the SQL is indeed larger than 32K.  When running this in SQL*Plus, the procedure is successful and produces a proper SQL statement which can be executed.  When I put this into the report region on apex.oracle.com, I get the ORA-06502 error.
    I can certainly implement a work-around for my issue by creating a 'Before Header' process on the page which populates an ApEx collection with the data I am returning and then the report can simply select from the collection, but according to documentation, the above 32K limitation should be resolved in 11g.  Thoughts?
    Shane.

    What setting do you use in your report properties - especially in Type and in Region Source?
    If you have Type="SQL Query", then you should have a SELECT statement in the Region Source. Something like: SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE
    According to the ERR-1101 error message, you have probably set Type to "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)". In this situation APEX expects you to write a body of a PL/SQL function, that will generate the text of a SQL query that APEX should run. So it can be something like:
    declare
    mycond varchar2(4000);
    begin
    if :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is not null THEN
    mycond:='WHERE LAST_NAME like :P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||''%''';
    end if;
    return 'select EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME from EMPLOYEES ' ||mycond;
    end;
    And for escaping - are you interested in escaping the LIKE wildcards, or the quotes?
    For escaping the wildcards in LIKE function so that when the user enters % you will find a record with % and not all functions, look into the SQL Reference:
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/conditions007.htm
    (You would than need to change the code of your function accordingly).
    If you are interested in escaping the quotes, try to avoid concatenating the values entered by the user into the SQL. If you can, use bind variables instead - as I have in my example above. If you start concatenating the values into the text of SQL, you are open to SQLInjection - user can enter anything, even things that will break your SQL. If you really need to allow users to choose the operator, I would probably give them a separate combo for operators and a textfield for values, than you could check if the operator is one of the allowed ones and create the condition accordingly - and than still use bind variable for inserting the filtering value into the query.

  • PL/SQL function body returning SQL Query Problem

    This query will never work. I marked only couple of errors you have there. Actually,
    I meant "formating" errors rather than "syntactical" errors. You are missing spaces
    all over the place. This is why I suggested to use a CLOB column in a test table
    to return the query for debugging purposes - this is how I do it at least, when I need
    to escape and concatenate a lot of code.
    If you are referencing item values from a user session in a function or a procedure,
    then you need to use the v('ITEM') syntax instead of :ITEM syntax. However, if the
    output of this procedure will be used as a function returning SQL query, you will
    be fine with :ITEM.

  • Export to Excel from Report region (pl/sql returning sql query)

    Hello all,
    I have encountered an interesting problem. I have an HTMLDB application with a lot of sql reports coded straight inside the report region. In order to better organize my reports, I decided to
    1. make all my report regions of type "Pl/Sql function returning SQL query"
    2. create a package inside my database schema which houses all reports as pl/sql functions returning VARCHAR2, the string returned being the report query
    3. just calling "return package_name.function_name" from inside my report region of type "Pl/sql function returning SQL query".
    This technique seemed to work perfectly. The reports were being returned as expected. I was then asked to provide the "Export to Excel" capability to all my reports. This seemed like a piece of cake using HTML DB's "Export to Excel" extension. However, the "export to excel" does not function correctly when my reports are inside a package in the database. HTML DB tries to export but inside the excel spreadsheet, instead of seeing row data, I see:
    <pre>failed to parse SQL query:
    ORA-00936: missing expression
    <!-- select a.username, b.table_name, 'View Row Data' from schema_browser_user_list a, all_tables b where a.user_id = and a.username = b.owner order by b.table_name asc
    --!>
    </pre>
    I am building my query string inside of my package functions by using a combination of literal strings and concatenating them with some parameter values being passed in. It seems that the HTML DB engine which exports the report to excel does not properly understand the concatenation of variables as can be seen by the empty space to the right of the equal sign in the "a.user_id = " clause. Does anybody have any input as to whether this is a known issue or if I am doing something wrong? Thanks a lot for your time.
    - Kenny R.

    James,
    Thanks for the quick reply. I think you mis-understood what I'm doing. All I'm doing is creating packaged functions which return VARCHAR2. The VARCHAR2 that they return is the report query. With this technique, I no longer have to type the query into the HTML DB report region. Instead, I make the report region a "Pl/sql function returning sql query" and make the following call: return package_name.function_name(some_application_items passed in as parameters)
    This makes for a much more organized html db app. The problem is that the "export to excel" function does not correctly interpret the VARCHAR2 that my packaged functions are returning. Is this a better explanation? Thanks again for your time.
    - Kenny R.

  • Error in report when executing pl/sql function body returning sql query.

    Hi,
    I have used the pl/sql function body returning sql query for creating a report. I have created a datepicker(
    P10_TASK_DATE) which can be submitted.The code is as below
    DECLARE
    v_sql varchar2(3000);
    BEGIN
    if :P10_TASK_DATE is not null THEN
    v_sql:='select
          * from tasks';
    return v_sql;
    else
    v_sql:='select * from discovery';
    return v_sql;
    END IF;
    END;if the date field is empty "select * from discovery" is executed and report is getting generated. But when we give a
    date using date picker the page is submitted and i get "report error: ORA-01403: no data found" even
    though the "tasks" table has data in it. Plz help
    Thanks,
    TJ

    hi
    Please try this
    1. Create 2 region
    1st region source=
    select * from tasks'
    go to the tab -> condition =
    item NOT NULL
    EXpression1 =:P10_TASK_DATE
    this will run whenever the item have any date
    2. open your 2 nd region source code= select * from discovery
    put the condition
    item is  NULL
    EXpression1 =:P10_TASK_DATE

    Thanks

    If your function is a stored function that is called from within APEX (function body not coded into the app itself), have you made sure that the function has been created and compiles ok prior to installing your apex app.
    If there are some dependency issues between other PL/SQL units or database objects that are causing your function not to be compiled, you apex install will fail as you are trying to reference an uncompelled bit of pl/sql.
    Let me know how you get on

  • Query on Reoprts-pl/sql function body returning sql query

    Hi,
    I am facing a starnge problem.. and would like to know the reason for it.
    The situation is as follows:
    I have a report (pl/sql function body returning sql query based). My query is as follows:
    declare
    l_query1 varchar2(2000);
    begin

    select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=:P102_min_value
    return (l_query1);
    end if;
    end;
    This returns the error as :

    How do i correct this? am i right in thinking that the single quotes indicating a string within a select query is creating the problem? Beacuse if i use an sql query report and use the following query, it is working fine...
    select
    decode(:P102_date,'1',date1) Transaction_Date,
    decode(:P102_first_name,'2',first_name) First_Name
    from (
    select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=:P102_min_value
    But i need to write pl/sql function, so that multiple report can be returned based on different conditions. Please guide me.
    Thanks,
    Sumana

  • Error while calling the function which returns SQL Query!!!

    Hi,
    I have a Function which returns SQL query. I am calling this function in my APEX report region source.
    The query is dynamic SQL and its size varies based on the dynamic "where clause" condition.
    But I am not able to execute this function.It gives me the following error in APEX region source.
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    Even in SQL* Plus or SQL developer also same error .
    The length of my query is more than 4000. I tried changing the variable size which holds my query in the function.
    Earlier it was
    l_query varchar2(4000)
    Now I changed to
    l_query varchar2(32767).
    Still it is throwing the same error.
    Can anybody help me to resolve this.???
    Thanks
    Alaka

    Hi Varad,
    I am already using 32k of varchar2. Then also it is not working.
    It is giving the same error. I think there is something to do with buffer size.
    My query size is not more than 4200. Even if i give 32k of varchar2 also buffer is able to hold only 3997 size of the query only.
    Error is
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    Tried CLOB also. It is not working.
    Any other solution for this.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I have got a report which I have formatted as PL/SQL function body returning SQL query.

    select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where V_REQUIREMENT = :JOB_CODE and v_experience_years >= :MIN_EXP and v_experience_years <= :MAX_EXP and source like '%:SOURCES1%'
    select * from debug;
    JOBCODE     MINEX     MAXEX     SOURCE
    21     1     10     donkeyHire
    And if I run the query in sql I get some records returned
    select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where V_REQUIREMENT = 21 and v_experience_years >= 1 and v_experience_years <= and source like 'donkeyHire'
    V_CANDIDATE_ID     V_FNAME     V_CURRENT_EMPLOYER     V_EXPERIENCE_YEARS
    2     Vengu     Andale Tech     4
    But the record does not show up in the report!
    does this type of report parse page items as text?
    Why is it so?
    Waiting for an early reply.
    Thanks,
    venkat

    Venkat - You don't want to put ':SOURCES1' in quotes like that.

  • Region source (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)

    Hi, guys.
    Here is what i try to do:
    Create a region of type SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query). In the source area i tried to put this:
    DECLARE
    v_new VARCHAR2(10);
    v_SQL varchar2(32000);
    BEGIN
    v_new := :P102_HDN_NEW;
    -- htp.p(v_new);
    IF v_new = 'N-Set' THEN
    v_SQL := 'select ' ||
    ELSIF v_new = 'Y-Set' THEN
    v_SQL := 'select ' ||
    END IF;
    RETURN v_SQL;
    END;
    And here is the reply from APEX:
    1 error has occurred
    Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. The query can not be parsed, the cursor is not yet open or a function returning a SQL query returned without a value.
    Now.
    1. Variable is set with the right value.
    2. Each statement (separately) returns SQL that works with no problems
    3. Problem occures if i try to put IF statement around the SQL creation.
    4. If i select "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" instead of "Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query" then the script returns SQL properly, however report's column names are set to Col1, Col2,Col3 ......

  • Issue with running PL/SQL function returning Sql query

    hi, I am trying to create a report region by using the option of PL/SQL function returning sql query.
    I notice that it's very slow for the report region page to show up. In my PL/SQL function body, there are only 3 steps, first update all the 10 rows of varchar2 fields to null,then insert values to those fields, then select all from the table to show report results. It takes more than 5 minitues for the page to load up, how ever, if i run those steps in SQL*Plus, it only takes a couple of seconds to finish. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    gina

    Sergio, the codes are as followed,
    Declare
    q varchar2(32767); -- query
    Begin
    q := 'select "ID",'||
    '"ENTRY NAME","TOTAL","#CM","%CM","#CA",'||
    '"%CA", from Info_table';
    update info_table
    set "TOTAL" = '',
    "#CM" = '',
    "%CM" = '',
    "#CA" ='',
    "%CA"=''
    where "ID"<=10;
    // set all data in column Total to null,there is only 10 rows in the table
    update info_Table set Total = vTotal,
    "#CM" = vCM
    (those variables hold user key-in Text filed value)
    where ID = 1;
    return q;
    End;
