Pagination woes

Hi - wonder if anyone else has this problem...?
I have three Framemaker book files. To simplify (and reduce the number of files, let's say I have:
* Master book file
file a
file b
file c
file d
* Book 1
file a
file b
file c
* Book 2
file a
file b
file d
Some files contain conditional text. I have set each file (independently) and each file in the book, apart from file a, to delete empty pages, and start on next available page. I have a double-sided layout. I display *all conditions* in the Master book before selecting Update Book. I then open (say) Book 1, display *its* conditions and choose Update Book.
My problem is that, no matter what I try, whenever I try to build Book 1 or Book 2 the pagination does not work correctly.
I always have to go back through individual files after updating, and re-apply the correct Master pages, when they should update correctly/automatically. This is a pain, as my real books contain many files (not just 4 as above). Specifically, a chapter page will start on the wrong side, and/or an extra blank page will be generated at the end of a file.
When updating, I select "Apply Master Pages", and have the following Master Page assignments on the Reference page:
UnstructMasterPageMaps
Book Update (Yes or No): Yes
Paragraph Tag Name    Right-Handed Master Page (or Single-Sided Master Page)    Left-Handed Master Page    Range Indicator (Single, Span pages, Until changed)    Comments
Chapter.number    First-R    First-L    Single
Appendix.number    First-R    First-L    Single
IX.name    Index-First-R    Index-First-L    Single
TOC.name    First-R    First-L    Single
Glossary.name    First-R    First-L    Single
Manual title    First Front        Single

Hi Art,
Thanks for the speedy reply.
I'm using Frame v9.0p250 under XP SP3, itself under Parallels Desktop for Mac on my MacBook Pro 17", 8GB RAM, OS X 10.6.2.
I thought I had covered all pagination eventualities by saying "I have set each file (independently) and each file in the book" - maybe I wasn't explicit enough - apologies. What I did (as well as going into each individual file and doing it) was:
1. Select the first file in the book (actually from the Book file) and set Pagination to Double Sided, Right, Delete Empty Pages.
2. Select all the other files and set Pagination to Double- Sided, Next Available, Delete Empty Pages.
Knowing that book settings stomp over individual file settings, I figured that was the way to go.
I suspect that you may be correct when you talk about my specific requirements throwing off the automatic pagination. The weird thing is sometimes it works if I update twice in a row. These manuals have been in existence since Frame 5, and I have 'improved' them many times over the years. Perhaps this page layout is a bridge too far - I was hoping the Reference page setup would work for me - it seems that's what it's designed to do (applying specific Left or Right masters depending on paragraph tags).
Again weirdly, I thought I had solved the problem by not having the 'master' book open at the same time as the 'conditional' book. I considered this because I was getting another problem:
1. Open both book files.
2. Open all files in the 'conditional' book (i.e. a subset).
3. Page through the files in the conditional book to check pagination (due to problems above).
What happens is Frame asks if I want to open 'the next file in the book'. No - I already have all the files I need open, but Frame assumes I'm using the 'master' book, not the 'conditional' book. Bizarrely, in a previous installation (before TCS2) I was also getting pages that would be hidden after updating - they existed in a file, but I couldn't turn the page to see them! I forget how I solved that one, but I suspect it was part of the same problem. They were always the last page in a file.
In fact, after my initia euphoria, I discovered that only having one book file open did not solve my pagination problems - it was updating for a second time that had solved them (sometimes). I haven't tested this exhaustively (sometimes, manually repaginating means I actually get my work done instead of fuming over what I think should be happening but isn't!). I have a bug logged with Adobe support, but I suspect I will have to reinstall Frame if I take their back-to-first-principles solutions. No thanks. I lost faith in tech support a long time ago.
Hope I haven't muddied the waters too much with my extra explanations. I was trying to keep it simple first time around...

Martin

Continual Mac woes (no question, just a rant)

It's Tuesday, and I am having terrible problems with my Mac. But then, why should Tuesday be different from any other day of the week.
Here is a typical day for me. The computer appears to be working OK. I need to watch a DVD for my work. I turn on DVD player, and put one in. The machine can't read the disc. It clicks and whirls, but the icon does not show up on the desktop. Meanwhile, so distressed is the machine that it freaks out. What was up until now was a fluidly operating machine suddenly reverts back to its old ways (i.e., its ways of two days ago). The hold ups and spinning pinwheels begin to eat of hours of my work day. (Remember the old days when computers made life easier?) The machine becomes sticky, gummy. Oh, I can move the curser and it seems to work for a second but then gets stuck in the dock, which explodes in icons and then freezes for five minutes. Yes. Five minutes.
Would love to use Force Quit, but the cursor is spinning, and nothing is responding. Funny about that old Mac. You can't force quit Force Quit. I guess I need to leave it open all the time.
Of course, FQ usually works on Safari. I have never just "quit" Safari. It always requires Force Quit, otherwise I can't turn off my computer. It stalls shut down.
Now I have a DVD trapped in there and can't get it out. [But I just got an answer from another posting.]
In the old macs, there used to be a pin hole you could stick a needle into ... can't find one on my flatpanel iMac.
I bought my Apple flat panel iMac in August of 2002. Yes, I know that that is a long time to have a computer, but I am not rich nor attached to a corporation that can splurge on computers. The first weekend I had the machine, I had three kernal panics.
Among the other problems I have documented are the following: the dock hiding itself unbidden and other features checking and unchecking themselves (Aug 2002); bus errors connected with OS 9 (Sept); some problems that inspired the tech person (Eric)) to talk me through deleting my user i.d., resulting in the loss of two months worth of e-mail (Thursday, 12 September); Preview problems (September); a bizarre box with an unmovable and undeletable red stop sign in it that no tech person or other Mac user I know had ever hear of (Monday 30 September); printing problems; computer won't shut down, numerous disconnection errors, which turned out to be caused by an OS X update (beginning December, 2002, or later); Kernel panics (Feb); computer won't shut down (March); Faxstexx problems, program won't allow me to set it up, finally just deleted the software (April); keys like "V" freeze and repeat endlessly (May 21); DVD Player freezes (May); Safari and Mail begin quitting unexpectedly (May); cursor begins to blink and fade out, plus odd sounds come out of the speakers, a constant error beeping (Sept 9); DVD Player problems (Oct 4).
I called AppleCare while I had it about once a week (the total between August 2002 and the time it ran out was about 155 calls). Naturally, some of these calls are motivated by user error. On the other hand, many of the issues I have called about were unprecedented as far as the Tech person was concerned, such as the blinking mouse, the red stop sign, and the DVD Player woes.
Things improved with Panther, but in Tiger many of the same old issues have returned.
I have been having so many problems with my Mac that I once wrote a letter to the company asking when do I qualify for a new replacement machine. I never received an answer, but I felt better for about a day. Then I turned on my Mac again.

The spinning ball of death as we used to call it is often caused by a lack of RAM, it is hard to be sure as I am not working on your machine, but sometimes things can be improved with additional RAM, it makes it seem like a whole new computer.
A lot of your problems sound like stuff that can be fixed easily enough, and although frustrating things happen here and there with updates. It sounds like you are in fairly good spirits with it all, I would suggest just researching a bit more into maintenance you can do to help maintain the computer and educate yourself a bit more (sounds like you already have learned quite a bit along the way) and you will find a lot of these issues take you a few seconds to rid yourself of. I would start by making sure you are repairing permissions regularly and running the most up to date software. If a lot of problems persist, try creating a second user that is a "test" user to see if the problem is replicated on that user (don't delete your other one, but if you do find the problem not on the other user, you might have a corrupt user, however you don't have to lose all your emails there are plenty of ways to back it up and import it in, or even just bring the entire Mail folder from your library over to the new user). Another thing you can do if you find a lot of system problems is archive and install the OS, it takes a bit of time, but doing it overnight shouldn't be an issue, and you won't lose any of your stuff.

Issue in pagination of pivotal view (10 rows per page)???

Hi All,
I’m implementing pagination in pivotal view, report has to show 10 records per page.
Report has to show for 8 weeks data per employee and 10 employees information per page, however report is displaying data for more than 10 employees and for a week single week, in second page its showing for 2 week and so on ….
I used all the following functions however issue persists.
1. FLOOR(RCOUNT(1) /10)
2. CEILING((RCOUNT(1))/10.0)
3. TRUNCATE((RCOUNT(1)-1)/10, 0) +1
4. CASE when rcount(1)<11 then '1-10' when rcount(1)<21 then '11-20' when rcount(1)<31 then '21-30' else '30+' end
Any suggestions
Thanks,
SMA

Look in criteria add one more column
in FX write this formula
Go to the formula window of this column and enter the formula shown below
CASE WHEN RCOUNT(1) < 11 THEN ‘1-10′
WHEN RCOUNT(1) < 21 THEN ‘11-20′
WHEN RCOUNT(1) < 31 THEN ‘21-30′
ELSE ‘30+’ END
Once this is done, drag and drop this column into the Pages section of your pivot table. Now you can paginate through your pivot table report.
let us know if its solve your problem
Thanks

Pagination query help needed for large table - force a different index

I'm using a slight modification of the pagination query from over at Ask Tom's: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/07-jan/o17asktom.html]
Mine looks like this when fetching the first 100 rows of all members with last name Smith, ordered by join date:
SELECT members.*
FROM members,
    SELECT RID, rownum rnum
    FROM
        SELECT rowid as RID
        FROM members
        WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
        ORDER BY joindate
    WHERE rownum <= 100
WHERE rnum >= 1
         and RID = members.rowidThe difference between this and the one at Ask Tom's is that my innermost query just returns the ROWID. Then in the outermost query we join the ROWIDs returned to the members table, after we have pruned the ROWIDs down to only the chunk of 100 we want. This makes it MUCH faster (verifiably) on our large tables, as it is able to use the index on the innermost query (well... read on).
The problem I have is this:
SELECT rowid as RID
FROM members
WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
ORDER BY joindateThis will use the index for the predicate column (last_name) instead of the unique index I have defined for the joindate column (joindate, sequence). (Verifiable with explain plan). It is much slower this way on a large table. So I can hint it using either of the following methods:
SELECT /*+ index(members, joindate_idx) */ rowid as RID
FROM members
WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
ORDER BY joindate
SELECT /*+ first_rows(100) */ rowid as RID
FROM members
WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
ORDER BY joindateEither way, it now uses the index of the ORDER BY column (joindate_idx), so now it is much faster as it does not have to do a sort (remember, VERY large table, millions of records). So that seems good. But now, on my outermost query, I join the rowid with the meaningful columns of data from the members table, as commented below:
SELECT members.*      -- Select all data from members table
FROM members,           -- members table added to FROM clause
    SELECT RID, rownum rnum
    FROM
        SELECT /*+ index(members, joindate_idx) */ rowid as RID   -- Hint is ignored now that I am joining in the outer query
        FROM members
        WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
        ORDER BY joindate
    WHERE rownum <= 100
WHERE rnum >= 1
        and RID = members.rowid           -- Merge the members table on the rowid we pulled from the inner queriesOnce I do this join, it goes back to using the predicate index (last_name) and has to perform the sort once it finds all matching values (which can be a lot in this table, there is high cardinality on some columns).
So my question is, in the full query above, is there any way I can get it to use the ORDER BY column for indexing to prevent it from having to do a sort? The join is what causes it to revert back to using the predicate index, even with hints. Remove the join and just return the ROWIDs for those 100 records and it flies, even on 10 million records.
It'd be great if there was some generic hint that could accomplish this, such that if we change the table/columns/indexes, we don't need to change the hint (the FIRST_ROWS hint is a good example of this, while the INDEX hint is the opposite), but any help would be appreciated. I can provide explain plans for any of the above if needed.
Thanks!

Lakmal (and OP),
Not sure what advantage you are trying to show here. But considering that we are talking about pagination query here and order of records is important, your 2 queries will not always generate output in same order. Here is the test case:

You can not rely on optimizer choosing NESTED LOOP join method and, as above example shows, when optimizer chooses HASH JOIN, oracle is free to return rows in no particular order.
The query that does not involve join always returns rows in the desired order. Adding an ORDER BY does add a step in the plan for the query using join but does not affect the other query.

Pagina inicial padrão Default

Utilizo o Mozilla firefox como navegador padrão de toda a rede da empresa que é baseada em linux (ubuntu). A instalação do firefox foi feita "manualmente" no diretório "/opt/firefox" exatamente da forma que a Mozilla sugeri.
O que estou precisando é "setar" a pagina inicial (HOME) de todos com a minha intranet, consegui fazer essa alteração apenas quando o firefox é instalado pelo repositorios (apt-get) que você faz a alteração no /etc/firefox/syspref.js adicionando a linha:
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage","www.intranet.xxxx.net");
. Gostaria de saber qual arquivo eu altero para fazer essa configuração, quando mando instalar no /opt/firefox , ou como fazer para que o firefox utilize o syspref.js do /etc para configura-lo.
Vi que o firefox cria uma pref.js quando o usuário faz login, mas ele cria uma parta K42dk.Default (numero aleatório). que da para configura-lo, mas para isso tenho que esperar o usuário fazer o primeiro login e eu quero fazer que a pagina inicial com a intranet, aparece no default, já no primeiro login do usuário... existe essa possibilidade ?!?
Desde já Agradeço.
Obrigado

Se na versão disponibilizada pelo ubuntu, você conseguiu fazer as alterações necessárias, por que não usá-la?

Problem in pagination

hi,
I am working on the pagination concept using JSP and SQL.
I written stored procedure for pagination..its nicely working and i am using callable statement to call the procedure in my jsp code....if i am passing values within the parameter ..i am getting the answer....but i have to get the value at runtime...
In my jsp code.i am calling the procedure like this:
java.sql.CallableStatement proc =
cn.prepareCall("{call newPage2('%telic%',2,10,24)}");
its working fine...But i have to get the string from html..I have get the values at runtime rather than passing the values directly...
Details about the above parameters which i have used in my code :
The string that be searched - "telic"
2 = Refers to the current page
10 = page size(no of items per page)
24 = total number of records;
for Example if i am searching for the word "telic".I have the fields in the database such as names,address.
The word "telic" has to be searched in the above fields.
My doubts are:
1) How do i pass the text from the HTML to the stored procedure.
2) I am not sure about passing the values to a stored procedure at runtime.
java.sql.CallableStatement proc =
cn.prepareCall("{call newPage2(?,?,?,?)}");
How should i pass the values at runtime instead of "?" mark.
3)Suppose if i am using the getParameter method to get the string value..How can i pass the string variable instead of question mark(?).
can anyone help me...
Thanks in advance.

Read the documentation for CallableStatement. There are methods for setting parameters.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/CallableStatement.html

Number of currently displayed rows in report with pagination?

Maybe I'm thinking to complicated, but ...
In my report I use the HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKBOX function in order to display a checkbox for each row:
HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,"ID",NULL,:P311_ASSIGNED,':') " "
Some of the checkboxes are selected depending on whether there is an entry for them in a database table.
As the report returns hundreds of rows, I use pagination (e.g. 15 rows per page).
After checking/unchecking the checkboxes and submitting the page by clicking the save button, I want to do the following: For each row CURRENTLY DISPLAYED on the screen (1) check, whether its checkbox is currently checked or not (2a) If it is checked and there is not yet an entry -> add row to the db table (2b) If it is unchecked and there is an entry in the db table -> remove row from db table.
How can I, on the server side, find out which rows (row ids) are currently displayed (using pagination), so that I check each of the currently displayed row ids for their existence in the database table? Is there any item stored on the server side, which tells me the row number of the first row currently displayed? Is there an item I can refer to, which tells me the amount of rows, which are displayed on one page?
Your help would be very much appreciated!
Konrad

Hi Konrad,
I will jump in. :-) Just have a few minutes before a meeting.
I think you don't have to make it that complicated, where you have to know the current pagination.
1) Your HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKBOX has to contain as checked value #ROWNUM# as the row selector would do it.
2) You have to create a hidden item where you store your customer id
3) create another hidden item where you store if the customer has already the assignment
4) In your process you are now able to loop through your arrays.
DECLARE
    vRowNumber BINARY_INTEGER;
    vFound BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
    -- insert new event assignments
    FOR ii IN 1 .. WWV_Flow.g_f01.COUNT -- your checkbox
    LOOP
        vRowNumber := WWV_Flow.g_f01(ii);
        -- no assignment yet?
        IF WWV_Flow.g_f03(vRowNumber) IS NULL -- your hidden field where you store if you have an assmnt
        THEN
            INSERT INTO xxx VALUES (WWV_Flow.g_f02(vRowNumber)); -- your customer id
        END IF;
    END LOOP;
    -- delete old event assignments
    FOR ii IN 1 .. WWV_Flow.g_f03.COUNT -- your hidden field where you store if you have an assmnt
    LOOP
        -- only if the event was already assigned
        IF WWV_Flow.g_f03(ii) IS NOT NULL
        THEN
            vFound := FALSE;
            FOR jj IN 1 .. WWV_Flow.g_f01.COUNT -- your checkbox
            LOOP
                -- is the event still checked?
                IF WWV_Flow.g_f01(jj) = ii
                THEN
                    vFound := TRUE;
                    EXIT;
                END IF;
            END LOOP;
            IF NOT vFound
            THEN
                DELETE xxx WHERE CUSTOMER_ID = WWV_Flow.g_f02(ii);
            END IF;
        END IF;
    END LOOP;
END LOOP;Haven't tested the code, but I think it should show the idea.
Hope that helps

Not getting all records in pagination

I am also have a problem getting all records in the report as the post on Apr. 21,2004. My reports pagination stops at 500. When I set the 'max row count' to 100000. The pagination at the bottom of my page disapears. When I leave 'max row count' empty, it only goes from 1-500. No way to view records past the 500th record.
I see there was a post on Apr. 21, 2004 about the same thing but it did not specify a fix or work around or if I'm missing a setting. (also tried the log off/on but did not help).
*My pagination Scheme is 'Row Ranges 1-15 16-30 in select list(wiht pagination)'
*My report has 1000+ records.
Thanks, Paula

The actual number of rows supported by the select list depends on how many rows you show on each page. If you go with the default of 15 rows, you would be able to use the select list with close to 5000 rows. If you increase the number of rows per page, the select list will work with even more rows.
If the select list can't be used, it may make sense to consider using the "row ranges with set pagination" style. Set pagination lets you navigate from one set to the next instead of one page to the next, so you can navigate through your result set a lot quicker.
However the best option for reports with that many rows would be "row ranges x-y", without showing the total number of rows. The reason is that the report renders a lot faster if you don't have the total number of rows calculated. In order to better be able to find certain records, I would recommend a search field on your report page that lets you filter the result set.
Hope this helps,
Marc

Report problem (Paginations show record count, report blank)

I am using a custom report template to show data in detail form and allowing users to use the pagination to move from record to record. I have the maximum rows returned as 1.
The problem is in a very specific set of circumstances if the query returns only two results the report shows nothing. The pagination show two records (using search engine pagination style) but nothing (with the exception of the top and bottom pagination bars) is displayed until the user clicks on one of the linked numbers.
Has anyone had similar problems, does anyone have any idea how to correct this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Gary

Check any branches to this page to see that they have "reset pagination for this page" checked. I had a problem with pagination where the user could specify query criteria and the branch back to the page was not resetting the pagination.
Just a thought,
Mike

Expanding text boxes, pagination and expanding to another page

Attached is a link to a simple form which is actually part of a much larger form. It has several nested add and remove instances. I have three fairly simple issues I need to solve.
     1. Is it possible to set a text box to allow it to grow in height as information is added that exceeds the size of the text box. This feature is available as a property in Microsoft Access as an example. I know you can allow multiple lines but you can see them all without the expanding feature.
     2. This form is design to grow by adding instances. I would like to set up the pagination so it would flow to additional page(s). I think I would just like the line
to continue to flow to the next page without creating a break in the primary instance if that makes sense (the top level of the instances - mode). This level could theoretically by larger than one page so this is probably best route to go. Currently it's not flowing at all to the 2nd page.
     3. Somehow I ended up with a 2nd page to the form. How do I delete that but yet have the expanding form automatically create a 2nd, 3rd (etc) page as required.

Thanks,

Hi Patrick,
I can't make changes to your form at the moment, but there are a few things you need to bear in mind. If you want items to expand and push objects down, then you will need a Flowed layout.
See this example about making fields dynamic: http://assure.ly/g80MVY.
Also this looks at the difference between Flowed (where you want to get to) and Positioned (where you are now) subforms: http://assure.ly/eSGQMt.
Yes, just select the textfield and go to the LAyout palette. There under height, tick Expand to fit. If you preview this you will see that it expands, BUT will cross over objects beneath it. This is where you need to group objects in a Flowed subform, so that when it expands it will push objects down.
The page needs to be set to Flowed. There are pagination settings available under the Object palette and you can start with Place = Follow previous and then Continue filling parent. You also want to make sure that for the subforms (and textfields) you have set in the Object palette that content is allowed to break over pages.
Check your pagination settings.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Adding form pagination without the wizard

Hello,
I'm trying to add a form pagination feature into an existing page. When I'm trying to use the Create Form Pagination Wizard I'm getting the following error: "The Create Form Pagination Wizard uses the onChange JavaScript event to alert users when they are about to exit a page without saving their changes. Remove the onChange event from any item with a source of Database Column and restart the wizard."
I have many items on this page with onchange event, and I really don't want to erase all of then, using the wizard, and retyping them again. Is there a way to bypass this problem? I'm actually looking to use the " Get Next or Previous Primary Key Value" process. Can I manually create this process without the "help" of the wizard?
Thanks,
Arie.

Arie - Perhaps you could create a temporary form page with a "clean" form and then create the form pagination process there. Then copy that process to your existing form page. After the copy, edit the process and change all the item names, column names, etc., in the process definition page and create any items required to support it. Finally, delete the temporary form page.

Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report using Page Zero

Hi,
I want to implement an «Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report» using a «page zero».
I recently migrate from Apex 3.1 to Apex 4.2 and my «Custom pagination for APEX 3.1 interactive report» using a «page zero» is not working any more.
So now I try to adapt an excellent example of Jari Laine for 4.0 but using a page zero.
I put the code JavaScript to Page zero but I must create an dynamic action to fire only for an interactive report region.
It’s a good idea?
Thank you

Thought I would try once more with my DatePicker question.
On the Apex.Oracle.Com website I have created a 1 page application that has an Interactive Report.
[url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=15655:1]
user = 'test'
password = 'test'
I have 2 questions :
(1) In IE7, press 'Actions', 'Filter'. On the Column dropdown list, select 'Order Timestamp'.
Notice the prompt icon to the right of the 'expression'. This should change to the Datepicker, but in IE7 it does not. Try the samething in Firefox or Chrome and the Datepicker will appear.
Is this a BUG, or does Apex 4.02 not support IE7 ?
(2) In Firefox or Chrome, where you can now see the Datepicker, you will notice that it is the new style picker, not the old style ( called 'classic' ). I want to change it so that it shows the 'classic' datepicker not the new, but cannot see how to do it, if indeed you actually can.
I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look and let me know if I am going mad, or if we need to get all our users onto IE8. We have now gone live with Apex 4.02 and need to resolve these issues.
Thanks in advance.

Mixing of interactive report and classic report fails the RESET PAGINATION process.

I have a tab page where i got 3 different reports REPORT_A (classic), REPORT_B(interactive) and REPORT_C (CLASSIC) in the same alphabetic order. I have a reset pagination page process which will always fire (without any condition) when you visit the page via tab.
The reset pagination process which exists in the before header stage is firing but not resetting the interactive report. It does affect the subsequent classic report REPORT_C as well. The REPORT_A would reset pagination fine since it exists before the interactive report. Is this a know bug in apex?
I created a test demo application with exact steps to reproduce the problem. The steps are in the demo website itself.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=56638
U: testuser
P: password
Apex Version: 4.2.4.00.08
In my real application i would have a dropdownlist in the page based on which I would filter the data. The dropdownlist will have a corresponding after-submit branch which will handle the reset pagination & RIR absolutely fine. But when we visit the website through tab the above problem would crash the page.
I tried solutions like gReport.search('SEARCH') but that will fix only the interactive report, not the classic REPORT_C. That is just a hack anyway.
Any ideas.?

in classic report pagination need to be make it up max rows in APEX_SCHEMA(APEX_040200) itself. i was fixed this issue long back myself,but right now i don't remember which table! so please check the schema and track it.
This makes very little sense to me. Please explain this in detail. Are you advocating making changes to APEX metadata by executing DML on tables in the APEX_040200 schema? Doing so will leave your APEX instance in an unsupported an possibly inoperable state.

Problem of POP LOV in a SQL Report with pagination

I am using a pop up lov (along with some other fields), HTMLDB_ITEM.POPUP_FROM_LOV(5, null, 'EMPLOYEE_LIST', '20', '50')), in a sql report. This is a report with pagination. Whenever I select any value from pop up lov on first page of the report it gets populated properly in the corresponding text field. But from second page onwards it doesnt populate any value.
For example, my report fetches a total of 50 rows, of which I am displaying 15 at a time. The popup lov comes with a text field for each row. Whenever I do select from popup lov for 1-15 rows which come on page 1, the values come up in the text field properly, but for rows 16-30 on second page, 31-45 on third 46-50 on fourth the values do not get populated. When I changed the pagination settings to display 40 rows..the values were still coming properly on page 1(1-40 rows) and not on the next page. Any clues how to resolve this problem?

good find. this is a bug that has already been identified and will be corrected in the upcoming patch release for htmldb. a good work-around for now is to use the equivalent declarative options in the tool. so rather than coding your query like...
select ename , HTMLDB_ITEM.POPUP_FROM_LOV(2, null, 'DEPARTMENT', '20', '50') as "department" from emp
...just code it like this...
select ename , null as "department" from emp
...and then use the column attributes screen for your "department" column to indicate that you'd like that col to be rendered as a "Popup LOV (named LOV)" using your DEPARTMENT list of values.
hope this helps,

Updateable Report/Pagination - rows found but not displayed

Bear with me if there is a post that covers this, as the SEARCH facility seems to be hanging when I search on Pagination.
I have a SQL Query (PL/SQL Function Body Returning SQL Query) which creates an Updatable Report.
If I run the Query and the selection criteria results in more than one page in the "search results" and then I go to page 2 or page 3, etc and then peform another search that only results in 1 page of "search results", the actual search results will not display, but the pagination will show the number of rows that should be displaying.
For example, I search on Coroner "John Black", which returns 55 rows. The first 50 are displayed. The next 5 are on page 2. If I then searchon Coroner "Jim Bean", 22 rows are returned (all on page 1). If I then search on "John Black" again, and this time, go to page 2 (to see the final 5 rows in the result set) and then search on "Jim Bean", I won't get any data in the report for Jim Bean, but a message showing that there are 22 rows of data. However, I cannot get that data to show (even if I select NEXT or PREVIOUS for the pages.
Then if I go back and select on "John Black", get the same problem. I basically have to sign out completely in order to get this reset.
Note that the problem occurs if you are on a page greater than that of the result set on the next query. For example, if I am on page 3 of 5 pages and perform another selection that has 3 pages, it is fine. But if the result set only has 2 pages, the form becomes confused.
If the "Layout and Pagination" has a "Pagination Scheme" set to "Row Ranges X to Y of Z (no pagination)" I get an error like "Minimum row requested: 2401, rows found but not displayed: 46".
If I use "Row ranges 1-15 16-30 (with set pagination)" I get "1-46" as a hyperlink, which if I click on, will show me the report.
If I use "Row ranges 1-15 16-30 in select list (with pagination) I have a problem.
If I use "Row Ranges X to Y (no pagination) I have problems.
If I use "Row Ranges X to Y of Z (no pagination) I have problems.
If I use "Row Ranges X to Y of Z (with pagination) I have problems.
Basically, the one one that seems to work is those that have a hyperlink. Uing NEXT, PREVIOUS or a select list does not seem to work.
Do you know what is causing this problem?

I have the same issue, but cannot resolve it following above suggestions. I have a report page with search criteria and a "Go" button to submit the search. The branch back to the same page has "reset pagination for this page" checked, but still if run a query that returns just one row after having paged forwards, I get no rows displayed and a pagination link "1-1" that when clicked brings up the selected row.
I tried adding a "Reset Pagination" process to run on submit (unconditionally), and it made no difference.
I am using HTMLDB 2.0.
