Parameterized Report Query Region

Hi,
I am trying to create a parameterize report. I have two radio button options for user to select and press the Go button to shows the report on the below region(have not created the region yet). Both of these options are going to have different Query Region SQL Code. Say one would look at the EMP table and the other at DEP table. How can I place both Query on the same region and determine which to execute to run the report base on user selection of radio button?
What would be a best solution for these kinds of reports?
Any help greatly appreciated
thanks

You would create two report regions, one for emp, one for DEP then conditionally display them by the value returned by the radio button LOV.
condition for EMP report region would be
type: item in expression 1 = expression 2
exp1
px_your_radio_button
exp2
EMP (your returned value from px_your_radio_button when EMP has been selected)

How use parameters on a html region for report query region

Hi all.
I have created a number of report regions which initially query some data.
The requeriment now is to have a date range (initial and final) and use this range as a parameter for report queries.
i created a new region containing these two date values. Now i need to:
- Give this date fields and initial value: say first and last day of current month.
- Perform a validation to ensure initial date is less or equal to final date.
- And most importantly, i need to reexecute the queries based on this date range.
How do i do it...?
Thanks in advance ...!

Passing Parameters to a report query

I have built a report query, the query has 3 parameters.
select * from EMP_DETAIL
where
emp=:EMPP
and loc=:LOCP
and seq=:SEQP
When I test the query, enter the parameters manually, it renders and I get my report.
When I add this layout to a standard on screen report region, I can not figure out how to pass the column values to those parameters.
I'll try to explain. I have a report
SELECT * FROM EMP
The users can filter the report down, then when they find the emp they want, I have created a report link that is supposed to run the detail query and have the detail report come up in a PDF.
So lets say they choose employee 0009, the columns have the :LOCP and the SEQP
I want the report query for the PDF print to be filled in and the report rendered and printed. Like I said, I can test the report query/layout from the shared components section but I can not get the column values of say #EMP#,#LOC#,#SEQ# passed to the report.
When I click the report, it appears to run forever. I do not know what is being passed to the report query.

Starting to wonder if my question doesn't make sense.
Does not seem to be something that hard.
I have a APEX 3.0 stored report query and layout loaded via the shared components section. The stored report accepts 3 parameters.
I have an employee report region (Select * from emp) and I have a derived link column that has a pretty picture in it. What I want to happen is when the users naturally migrate towards the bright colors on the screen in front of them and peck away at the mouse button, the values of the corresponding 3 columns are passed to the stored report and the report is ran and a PDF pops up and surprises the little buggers... sorry users that they actually managed to do something other than whine.
Ideas, any takers?
Maybe I will have to start a new thread with subject of
"PLZ HELP MZ URGENT!!!!!! PLZ PLZ "
or
"ORACLE IS STUPIDO!!!"
Those seems to get a lot of replies, some even helpful :)

Report region with column link that opens a pdf doc based on report query

Hello
I'm building a report table that displays info about a customer - simple select - and, for each record, has associated column links based on report queries that receive ID as parameter. When clicked, it opens the report in pdf extension. My problem here is how to pass the ID as a parameter to that report query considering i'm using a report table and that there are no items in page 71...
This is the report query i'm using:
select initcap(a.customer) customer
, initcap(a.address) address
, initcap(a.rep) rep
, (select initcap(b.city)
from portal_records b
where b.contrib=a.contrib
and b.year=to_char(sysdate,'yyyy')) city
, (to_char(a.datereg,'dd')||' de '||to_char(a.datereg,'Month')||' de '||to_char(a.datereg,'yyyy')) datereg
from portal_authorizations_cve a
where a.id=:P71_ID ???????????????
I thank in advance all your replies!!

Hello
First of all, let me compliment your for your demo application... It's awesome!
I've looked into your sample (page 15) and, as far as i see, it opens a document saved in a table's column. I don't want the file to be saved there but generated when the user clicks on that particular link... So i still have the problem of how to pass the right ID as a parameter considering there is no page item on that page...
My javascript knowledge is little so i ask you: when clicking the link, is there any way of opening a window with the url f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=Authorization_CVE and the ID as a parameter?
I thank in advance!

How to change report query dynamically in Oracle APEX?

Hi,
I want to dynamically change the where condition in APEX report query. Can anyone help me solve my this problem?
(Just want to change the query which we change in Oracle Reports using lexical parameter to change &Where, &Order by etc. dynamically!!)
Thanks, Praful

Hi
I've been using flexible queries in APEX for a few years now, and your question just added a whole new dimension to the flexible and powerful nature or writing reports in APEX.
While APEX Interactive reporting has almost completely removed the need the equivalent of Lexicals in Oracle Reports, I thought it might be fun to try and use lexicals in an APEX report.
Before we start I should summarise the powerful capability of APEX reporting to have oprtional parameters (lots and lots of them if this is needed).
For each parameter, you simply add a page item which will hold the value of the parameter.
The item/parameter can be populated by typing in the value, defining an LOV, using a date-picker etc.
To make the parameter optional simply use an OR in the where clause.
So for a apge item P200_PARAM1.....include
WHERE (:P200_PARAM1 IS NULL
OR COLUMN1 = :P200_PARAM1)
This way you can either leave the page item null or type in / select a value from a LOV.
There is a small quirk in APEX LOV's which sometimes returns a value of '%' or '%null%' - depending on the version - when no value is selected.
See Patrick Wolf's solution for this at Re: Null value handling in LOVs
I include this Application Process in all my APEX applications ;)
Now let's look at using the equivalent of Oracle Reports Lexicals......
First-off - this is based on the APEX SQL report - NOT Interactive Report.
It relies on the fact that you can let the query be parsed only at runtime.
1. Define an SQL report entering the 'core' of your query.
With a query like SELECT ENAME, JOB FROM EMP
Select 'Generic Columns' option in the 'Column Headings' section
Finish the report creation
2. Define a page item - say P200_LEXICAL - type text on the page
3. Edit the report and update the SQL query to include your lexical page item
SELECT ENAME, JOB FROM EMP &P200_LEXICAL. (REMEMBER THE '.' AT THE END)
Ensure that the option "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" is selected at the bottom of the query
4. Add a button to the page -using 'Create a button displayed among this region's items' the will submit the page.
5. Run the page - you will see all the employee names and job desdriptions
6. Enter a where clause into the 'Lexical' textbox - say "WHERE ENAME LIKE 'K%'" and click the 'Go' button
Voila! your where clause is magically applied.
Try any variant you like adding an ORDER BY clause etc...... this is FUN!
7. Clear the value of the LEXICAL and click go.
Edit the report and move the &P200_LEXICAL. into the selected columns (or add another one)
SELECT ENAME, JOB &P200_LEXICAL. FROM EMP
8. Run the page
Enter ",SAL" in the textbox and "Go"
We can add as many columns as we like (subject to the "Maximum number of generic report columns:" set below the SQL query in the report edit section)
Now because we have all the flexibility in APEX of setting page items using SQL or PLSQL you can set the value of the lexical programatically, or just pre-set a few values in an LOV - the options are limitless.
While I've never had the need to use lexicals - you can see that APEX provides the most Flexible Lexicals in town.
Eat your heart out "Oracle Reports"!!!
Have fun

Parameterized Report

Hi,
I am very new to HTMLDB, so I am still trying to get a handle on it.
I create a Parameterized Report using a select list paremeters as per the documentation.
I tried to switch the parameter to a multiple select but the report returns no data when two values are selected.
Can somebody exaplin how I can get around this?
Thanks

I have a Reports Region of type SQL Query (PL/SQL Function Body Returning SQL Query)
In my Region Source I have a PL/SQL block.
I declared a variable called Q defined as a VARCHAR2(4000)
DECLARE
Q VARCHARE2(4000);
BEGIN
Then before my query I have my multiselect item named p5_organization that I have formatted with the statement of:
:p5_organization := REPLACE(:p5_organization,':', ''''||','||'''');
In my query I have:
Q := 'SELECT organization FROM ';
Q := Q||' account WHERE a.organization IN (';
Q := Q|''''||:p5_organization;
Q:= Q||'''' || ')' ;
RETURN q;
END;
I'm concatenating single quotes (4 of them) before and after the variable in the select which will get resolved to just a single quote at the beginning and a single quote at the end of the string.
HTML DB returns the selection, as you found out, as value:value:...
The replace function will take out the : and replace it with a single quote when it gets resolved. That's the reason for the 4 quotes that I'm concatenating in the replace.
Does that help at all?

Problem with SQL query region source containing OLAP clauses

Hi team,
I believe I found a bug when HTMLDB validates the SQL Query in a report region.
My query includes an ORDER BY clause within a windowing function and HTMLDB refuses to accept the source owing to the presence of the ORDER BY and the column heading sort preference.
Clearly the order-by in a window function has little to do with the column heading sort, but this error prevents me from updating the conditional display item in the page definition.
Note also that the page was imported smoothly from the 1.5 version, so probably the region source is not checked at that time, but only when you update it "manually".
So, in the end, if I don't change anything the page works because the sql query is assumed to be correct but unfortunately I need to change the condition and I cannot.
The problem shows up in page 126 of app 21670, SQL query region.
Bye,
Flavio
PS: may be I can work around this by using the pl/sql function returning the sql query.

Flavio,
We're aware of this problem. For now, your workaround is described in this thread:

Performance problem with report query

Hi,
I am encountering a performance issue with a page returning a report.
I have a page that has a region which joins 2 tables. One table has about 220,00 rows, while the other contains roughly 60,000 rows. In the region source of the report region, the query includes join condition with local variables. For example, the page is page 70, and some join conditions are:
and a.id=:P70_ID
and a.name like :P70_NAME
I run the query that returns a large number of rows from sqlplus, and it takes less than 30 sec to complete.
When I run the page, the report took about 3 minutes to return.
In this case, :P70_NAME is initialized to '%' on the page.
I then tried to substitute variable value directly in the query:
and a.id=1000
and a.name like '%'
this time the report returned in about 30 sec.
I then tried another thing which specified the region as "PL/SQL Function returning sql query", and modified the region as follows:
l_sql := '.......';
l_sql := l_sql || 'and a.id=' || v('P70_ID')
and similar substituting :P70_NAME to v('P70_NAME') and append its value to the l_sql string.
The report query page also returned in 30 sec.
Is there any known performance issue with using the bind variable (:PXX_XXX) in the report region?

If you are able.. flush the shared_pool, run your
report then query the v$sql_area or v$sql_text tables.
Or do a google query and look up Cary Milsap's piece on enabling extended trace .. there is your sure fire way of finding the problem sql. I am still learning htmldb but is there a way to alter session enable trace in some pre-query block?

Creating a print button to call a Report Query and pass filters

If i use the REPORT QUERY option in APEX 4 to create an statement that is the same one used in an interactive report, can I create a link or button to the REPORT QUERY and pass all the session and filter information from the interactive report to the report query?
This way I can have the interactive report screen where the user can do all sorts of modifications and such and then pass those to the REPORT QUERY so I can call that from a custom link or button.
You may ask "why does he need another print button?"
Answer: I am using a view that has some embedded HTML tags to format the output really nicely. The HTML download version created by the interactive reports works beautifully. The customer also wants a PDF version (meh) which does not render the HTML tags and actually echos them as part of the text. I found that I can create another view that uses the CHR function to create all the breaks and such I was doing with HTML and these do render properly in PDF. So, I figured just have 2 reports: 1 Interactive and 1 using a REPORT QUERY. I just want to call the REPORT QUERY version but use the Interactive Search form to set all the parameters.
Or, am I over thinking this and there is an easier method?
I made a previous post where I showed how I got the APEX printing to work and i hoped that helped someone out - fixing this issue would put the whole thing to rest.
Thanks

Is BI Publisher desktop (MS Word add-in) a possibility? This would allow you to use MS Word to create your output template (RTF) that would result in a properly formatted PDF. Of course, you'd have to right an updated version of the query without HTML embedded. Just thinking outside of the box.

Bind Variables and Shared Component Report Query

I have a query in a region report which I have replicated to a shared component report query.
Both queries reference page items as bind variables in the where clause.
The report region on screen shows the correct results but the report query shows "no data". This is the case when running "Test Query" and "Download XML data" from the shared component report query definition. If I hardcode the variable names I get rows returned, If I use bind variables - and specify the values for these variables I get no data. THe XML file contains the tags for each bind variable I have specified but has no data between the tags. I have Ticked the box to include application and session state but it appears that the bind variables are not being used.
When I use my report query in the application (URL tied to a button) I get the same problem, the binds are not being passed to the report query.
Can someone please clarify if this is a bug or not? And if not, how can I get it to work.
I am using Apex 4.0.2
Thanks
Kathryn

Hi
To confirm, yes I selected the bind variables. I used these in the report layout, but the xml file has them as empty i.e.
<P0_START_DATE><P0_START_DATE/> with nothing in between.
IN the Test Query section, if I put real values in the boxes for the bind variables, I get no data found. If I hardcode the values into the query, I get the data.
I've repeated the create report query many times and have created a report layout in RTF. I can use the layout with my region - in the print attributes and the layout works with the query but I need to create a PDF using 2 queries - ROWSET1 and ROWSET2. I can generate the XML but the values in the rows are all empty. When I use the layout with a report query instead of the region, I get no data even though I have used the same sql and have selected the bind variables. I was using variables from page items on page zero but have also tried using page items on the current page, the result is the same.
I need to use a report query and a report layout as I need data from 2 queries in the PDF.
I looked at your demo - what happens if you add a second sql query to the report query - is there any chance I can look at the back end (developer access?)
Thanks for your input

Creating tabs for a single SQL report type region

I would like to find a way to use tabs in a single SQL report type region. The problem I have is that there are too many columns to be displayed so the report looks very cluttered. I would like to find a way to assign say columns 1 - 5 to tab 1, 6-10 to tab 2 etc so the user can find the columns they need by simply clicking on the various tabs without having to execute the query again.
I have looked at JQuery tabs but that seems to only be applicable to more or less unrelated regions. I tried to create different regions using the same query with different columns and that kind of works, but the regions don't stay in sync if say the user change the order for column 2 in tab 1, when they click on tab 2 everything displays in a different order.
Another wrinkle is that this is an updatable report so some of the columns are updatable.
I also looked at the hide / display column solution which is described in a few threads and that may also sort of work, but it is also not quite what I am looking for.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Does anybody know if this can be accomplished using APEX? What I am really looking for is very similar to an old fashioned client / server screen developed using say Oracle Forms. Consider an order line screen where say columns line number, SKU and SKU description is to the left of the tabs so these columns are visible no matter which tab is active. Then the first tab has say pricing information including UOM, quantity, list price, unit selling price, price list. The next tab has say customer information including customer number, name, bill to and ship to addresses. the next tab has say shipping information with say the warehouse, shipping instructions and shipping method.

Create a link to a page from a report query

version Application Express 3.2.0.00.27
I have done this 10s of times but for some reason its not working this time.
I am creating a link in a report sql query region. When the user clicks on one of the rows in the sql rpt region, it will take them to the page where they can edit the record selected. I select edit the report attribute in the report region, then select the column that will display as the link. It is the column that is the pk(app_id).
I go to the column link section. I enter the target page(8), select what icon to display, enter the item name that is the target for a value in page 8(P8_APP_ID).
And finally I enter the value that will be copied to P8_APP_ID. That is I enter #APP_ID#(row item from source page). I then run the page and click a row in the rept region(page 6). HOwever I get an error of ORA-01403: no data found. I look at what value was copied into the targe page item and its not what I expected.
I go back and verify I set up the link correctly but this is what I see for the page item and value to link to and copy its value.
Instead of P8_APP_ID and #APP_ID# as I entered, the #APP_ID# is getting changed to &APP_ID. I can't figure out why this is happening!!! Every time I enter
#APP_ID#, APEX is changing it to &APP_ID.
Any ideas folks?

It doesn't sound like a good idea to me to use your own APP_ID. APP_ID is already the application ID of the current application.
Give app_id in your query an alias and see if that works.

Passing report value to PDF report query

I apologize if this has already been asked and answered.
Here's the scenario --
I have a monthly sales page which displays the company sales for each day of the specified month. I also have a working report query and RTF layout which accepts the invoice date as a parameter which was created with the BI Publisher Word plug-in.
What I would like to do is add a link or button to each row of the report that would call the PDF report, but passes the #invoice_dt# column in as the parameter. Invoice_DT isn't a session state variable, so is it possible to pass this to the report query?
Thanks,
Leigh

Well, in my search for an answer to a different question, I did run across the answer to this in another thread.
Re: Passing Parameters to a report query

Setting a bind variable in a Shared Component Report Query

I have defined a Shared Component Report Query in APEX using a bind variable similar to below
Select name, id , ....
from asset
where id = :id
I have also created a Report Region that displays a table where one of the columns contains a value I would like to be a link column that can launch the Report Query and pass its value to the bind parameter :id in the report query. This in turn would generate a pdf report for the details associated with that column. I am having problems setting the :id bind parameter. How do I do this?
Can anyone help?
Thanks

The bind values are set from session state. So if try something like this:
Select name, id , ....
from asset
where id = :P1_ID
With P1_ID being a page item, for which you set the session state / value before generating the PDF file. So assuming you already have a page with a report and a page item, and that page item is already used in your report, then you could just create a button to download the PDF, make sure the button is a submit button, and create a branch pointing to the report query URL (or in 3.1 use the create button wizard, to do this declaratively.)

Marc

Setting pl/sql procedure as the data source in a Report Query

Is there a way to set PL/SQL as the data source in a Report Query? we want to
able to use the ReportQuery function and query results returned by a PL/SQL procedure.
thanks

Not exactly sure what you want to do, but on a ReportQuery you can set either a StoredProcedureCall, or an SQLCall.
query.setCall(new StoredProcedureCall(...));
query.setCall(new SQLCall("begin; my_proc(); end"));
Now, a stored procedure in Oracle cannot return a result, so using a ReportQuery which requires a result may not make sense.
You could instead use a DataModifyQuery.
If you return results through output parameters (you must use a StoredProcedureCall for this) you could use a DataReadQuery or a ReadAllQuery/ReportQuery if you wish to build objects from the data.
