ORA-00904 when use column alias in Record Group Query

Is it possible to use column aliases in Record Group Queries?
I have a query that runs fine in SQL*Developer, but gives me runtime errors when I use it as a Record Group Query.
When I use it as a Record Group Query, the Form compiles, but at runtime I receive the following errors:
FRM-40502: ORACLE error: unable to read list of values
when I use Help - Display Error, I see:
ORA-00904:"CHILDNAME":invalid identifier
The query is something like this
select decode(complex stuff here) as "childname" ....
I've tried it with and without the double quotes surrounding the alias name, and have also tried it without using the "as" keyword.
I would appreciate any suggestions or insights. I'm using Forms 9.0.4.
Thanks.

It looks like this is caused by bug 725059:
"FILTER BEFORE DISPLAY" DOESN'T WORK IF LOV HAS COLUMN ALIASES (TRIAGE1098)
My LOV does have the Filter Before Display turned on. Here's the text of the bug:
IF an LOV is created with column aliases in the select statement, (eg: select ename emp_name from emp) and the LOV property "Filter Before Display" is "Yes", THEN when you attempt to filter the LOV at runtime, (eg: type '%' then press the 'Find' button) the internal WHERE clause that forms sends to the database is: WHERE column_alias LIKE '%%' This is incorrect syntax. A client-side sqlnet trace shows this. The correct syntax should be: WHERE column LIKE '%%' . The incorrect syntax results in no rows returned. However no error is displayed by forms to the user.

ORA-00904 when using export

I am trying to run the export utility (NT machine) to export specified tables to a dmp file. The export starts but does not complete successfully due to the ORA-00904 error for having an invalid column name. I looked at the tables I've tried to export and the column names are valid (less than or equal to 30 characters and alphanumeric).
This is the params file I am using:
TABLES=(EMP)
LOG=bob.log
INDEXES=Y
ROWS=Y
COMPRESS=Y
FEEDBACK=10
FILESIZE=100K
FILE=bob.dmp
any information is much appreciated
Thanks

Marco,
I was trying to run the export on an 8.1.7 client machine on an 8.1.6 database. I ran the export on the database server machine locally and it worked fine. It looks like I need to get the versions on the clients to match the database. Thanks for your help.

and prior
     phot_id = phot_idIt works great when executing from any software. I get the expected results.
But yhen I try to put it in the report region source, I get an ORA-03113 when I apply changes...
It works if I remove CONNECT BY PRIOR and SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH from the query.
Why ?
Thanks.

Using column alias for calculations in same select list

Hi All,
I want to use a calculated column of query to create further calculated columns in same query using column alias. I have to do so because the calculation is too big to write it everytime.
e.g.
Select decode(Month, 1, Tran_January, 2, Tran_February, ....) as MonthTran,
Month, Year,
round(MonthTran/Intrest_rate, 2) as Amount <---(using previous alias)
from ledger;
Thanks in advance,
Mona

Probably the easiest way of doing this is to write an inline view, viz
SELECT l.Month
       , l.Year
       , round(mt.MonthTran/l.Intrest_rate, 2) AS Amount
FROM   ledger l
       , (SELECT x.pk_col, decode(Month, 1, Tran_January, 2, Tran_February, ....) AS MonthTran
          FROM ledger x) mt
WHERE l.pk_colunm = mt.pk_colunm
; If you have any criteria in a WHERE clause on ledger you shouldn't need to repeat them providing LEDGER does have a primary key column. You may need to tweak it a bit for performance, if LEDGER is a big table.

Using JDAPI to manipulate record group

Hi.
I am doing a migration from oracle forms 4.5 to 10g. For now I was able to manage/fix everyting using JDAPI interface. Now I am stuck with the following problem. In forms 4.5 it was perfectly legal to use a value of record group column larger than data length of that column. From forms 6+ there is a runtime error generated when this situation is met. What I wanted to do is to change/truncate record group value to the length of that column using JDAPI. No matter how I search I cant find proper metod to do the job. That is to change the value of record group column. Did anybody had a similar situation and was able to solve it.
Best regards.

Can't use function in creating record group

Gurus,
This question is for developers. Is this true one can't use
function in creating record group. I am using form5.
thanks,
ZW

I figured out the issue... they changed the way Group Calls are limited.
Here's a full explaination - and a suggestion for a behavior fix: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Please-Fix-Group-Video-Voice-Calling-Limit-Beha...
Long story short, you can't do a video calling at all if the group has more than 10 people in it total (including you).
Also, you can't do voice calling in groups with more than 25 people.
Text chats are limited to 300 people (or so I've been told by Skype employees). I've been in a chat with over 100 participants though so I know it goes that high at least.

List item - Record Group Query - Alignment improper Order

Dear All,
When am trying to concatenate two columns using record group query and displaying in the list item, the alignment is not in proper order.
E.g; Below is the columns and data's used in process:
CODE_VALUE     SHORT_DESC     DESCRIPTION
ROLL1     Customer - Non accidental     Production, booking with other carrier, bad projection.
ROLL2     Customer - Accidental     L/C, B/L draft, Customs, Samples, AMS, LAR.
ROLL3     ABC - Lack of empty     Lack of empty units.
ROLL4     ABC CDE - Roll over     AGR RRR decision.
ROLL5     ABC XXX - Accidental     IMO or OOG refused, operational problems, Cut & Run.
ROLL6     ABC YYY - Fictive booking     Equipment buffer, dummy booking.
Below is the record group query used in forms:
PROCEDURE p_when_new_form_instance
IS
GROUP_ID recordgroup;
list_id item := FIND_ITEM ('BLK_CONTROL.LI_ROLL_REASON');
rg_name VARCHAR2 (20) := 'LI_ROLL_REASONS';
status NUMBER;
l_query VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
l_query :=
'SELECT rpad(short_desc,50,'' '')||'' | ''||description description, code_value code_value FROM codes WHERE code_value IN (''ROLL1'', ''ROLL2'', ''ROLL3'',''ROLL4'',''ROLL5'',''ROLL6'')';
GROUP_ID := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY (rg_name, l_query);
status := POPULATE_GROUP (GROUP_ID);
POPULATE_LIST (list_id, GROUP_ID);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
pl_common.when_others;
END;
Moreover i have my list item font property by default as ""MS SANS SERIF" and when i run in Forms Builder am getting the alignment as below.
Result:
====
DESCRIPTION     CODE_VALUE
Customer - Non accidental | Production, booking with other carrier, bad projection.     ROLL1
Customer - Accidental | L/C, B/L draft, Customs, Samples, AMS, LAR.     ROLL2
ABC - Lack of empty | Lack of empty units.     ROLL3
ABC CDE - Roll over | AGR RRR decision.     ROLL4
ABC XXX - Accidental | IMO or OOG refused, operational problems, Cut & Run.     ROLL5
ABC YYY - Fictive booking | Equipment buffer, dummy booking.      ROLL6
Above order is not the expected result as all the |(pipe) symbol should display in proper order as below.
Expected Result:
==========
DESCRIPTION     CODE_VALUE
Customer - Non accidental | Production, booking with other carrier, bad projection.     ROLL1
Customer - Accidental | L/C, B/L draft, Customs, Samples, AMS, LAR.     ROLL2
ABC - Lack of empty | Lack of empty units.     ROLL3
ABC CDE - Roll over | AGR RRR decision.     ROLL4
ABC XXX - Accidental | IMO or OOG refused, operational problems, Cut & Run.     ROLL5
ABC YYY - Fictive booking | Equipment buffer, dummy booking.      ROLL6
I tried with RPAD and LPAD still the alignment issue is there; i know the issue is because of invariable length of the font.
But is there any solution to override this it will be of great help.
So please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks..................
Regards,
Sunil.G

Hi Francois,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried changing the font to "Courier(Western)" it is working fine.
But as per the standards defined, it should be "Ms Sans Serif" nothing apart from that.So that is where the problem lies. :(

Record group query question

Just wondering if we need to check :system.mode = query or normal in the query for record groups or oracle forms handles it automatically
Thanks

No, you should not check System.Mode in a record group query. But then, Forms does not do that either.
Your question makes me wonder what you are doing... Record groups are usually populated only when you need to see a list of values, or use an LOV to perform an edit.

Record Group Query - item block

I need to calculate a Record Group Query using a block item value, but when a use the query below the query didn't return rows:
SELECT OID_SIIB_FINALIDADE_TED
     , F.COD_FINALIDADE || ' - ' || F.DES_FINALIDADE DES_FINALIDADE
FROM SIIB_FINALIDADE_TED F
      , ( SELECT P.TP_PARAMETRO
            FROM SIIB_PARAMETROS_GERAIS P
          WHERE P.NM_PARAMETRO = 'TIPO_' || :BLOCK.ITEMX ) PAR -- using the :BLOCK.ITEMX the query did'nt return data
WHERE PAR.TP_PARAMETRO = F.TPO_FINALIDADEBut if a use a static query the Record Group( changing :BLOCK.ITEMX for 'STR0005' ) return the desired values.
This Record Group is used to pupulate a LOV.

No, it doesn't .
And return the message: "There aren't data in the List of Values"
And the block item is not empty or null.

Help with poplist record group query

Hi, I want to populate a poplist based on the following query:
SELECT value
FROM table.value
WHERE code_parent IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'ALL'
FROM dual
ORDER
BY code
Now I know that you need 2 columns in the record group to populate a poplist, but I cannot seem to modify the query to have 2 columns. I am basically adding the 'ALL' value, which will have a label of 'ALL' and a value of 'ALL'.
The first select I can easily modify to be an acceptable record group for a dynamic poplist, Its the union that im having problems with. The following select does not work. Help would be appreciated.
SELECT table.value, table.value
FROM table.value
WHERE code_parent IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'ALL', 'ALL'
FROM dual
ORDER
BY table.value

Based on the error I'd guess that one of your columns are defined as a number and the union columns are both varchar2. Match the datatype with the column it corresponds to:
UNION
SELECT 'ALL', 0
FROM DUAL
ORDER BY 1
The order by clause also needs to reference the column number instead of the column name since the union clause does not have a column name.

Changing the record group query in seeded forms

1.5.4 ora-00904 when opening a package from the connections navigator

Hi
I downloaded 1.5.4 for windows and immediately checked to see if this long standing bug has been fixed
1.5.0.53 New file types not opened as plsql (and now neither a
However it hasn't so next thing I do is go the connections navigator to open a package which is the workaround for the above bug (any update on when that is going to be fixed would be appreciated).
If I double click to open a package I get an error message
ORA-00904: "ATTRIBUTE": invalid identifier
A single click on a package does not give any error. Double clicking on the same package in 1.5.1 does not give any error message
Any ideas?

Stupidly used the rich text editor which doesn't seem to work too well

JB,
There actually is a post from the team in this thread ;-)
The patch on 3/30 was not scheduled to fix any other errors other than the import issue we encountered. We included an LDAP fix and a 9i performance query issue. The exact bugs fixed are listed in the check for updates detail before you download the fix.
All bugs can be logged with Metalink, that is the primary place for logging and tracking bugs. The forum is for discussions on how to use the product - for pointers and advice.
Paul,
By your long standing bug, I assume you mean that .pks, pkb and .plb files are opened in the PL/SQL Editor. This has been fixed in 1.5.4.
What has not been done and has been scheduled for 2.0 is the ability to associate any extension with a file and then open that file with the pl/sql editor.
For all encountering the ora-00904 error, this is specifically related to opening PL/SQL in a 9i database and we have a bug logged for that.
