Passing a column name as a parameter

Good afternoon,
I was wondering if any of you ever encountered the following situation and found a method to get around it...
I recently created a pivot table using the SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) option.
The table consisted of the following information:
- Date range, Object Type and count.
The final table looks something like this (pardon the lack of fancy markup, hopefully it will get the point across):
Date        Object A    Object B    Object D    Object G
01-apr-09   10           16         50          43
02-apr-09   1            15         77          35
03-apr-09   19           0          14          17
04-apr-09   15           7          70          20
05-apr-09   7            6          65          50And it goes on like that.
I had to create the code dynamically because I don't know what Objects I will get in any given date range (for example: I could have something for Object C and nothing for Object D in the month of March). I had a cursor loop through the object types before creating the SQL query that builds the table above.
The table is now working fine. What I'm trying to do now is do a little bit of drilling down in data.
Since everything is dynamically built, I can't give actual column names in my report. Is there any way that, when I click on, for example, the "10" on April 1st in Object A that the column header "Object A" gets passed? #COL02# only passes the value "10" which isn't what I want, and I tried the other variations such as :COL02 and &COL02. without much luck.
If you could shed some light on this problem, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
You can achieve passing column name as parameter with the help of jquery.
Below is the sample code
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
   google.load("jquery", "1.2.6");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    $(document).ready( function() {
        $('.t20data').each( function(i) {
            $td =$(this);
            colHeader = $(this).attr("headers");
            $td.html('<a href="f?p=' + &APP_ID. + ':3' + ':' + &APP_SESSION. + '::NO:3:P3_COLUMN_HEADER,P3_COLUMN_VALUE:' + colHeader +',' +$td.text()+ '">' + $td.html() + '</a>');
    });                                  //]]>
</script>Note - U need to change t20data , :p3_column_header , :p3_column_value to match you application.
No need to add link individually by going into column attributes

My scenario is little different, let me explain:
My columns will remain same but values changes (based on column formula) according to the selected prompt value
If I select 'Oct' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Oct' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Nov' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Dec' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Jan' of next year only.
Later if I select 'Jul' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Jul' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Aug' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Sep' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Oct' only.
I don't have different columns for each months but the columns are capable to reflect data for any month.
So, how can I reflect the column name as month name for which that contains data.

Pass column-name as a parameter to reports

Hello,
the code below calls a report. But now I want to sort the rows in the report. For example I have a text-item in my form-modul. If I type a column-name and press the button then the rows should be sorted in the report. Is it possible tp pass column-names as parameter to reports?
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('STATIONSTOPOLOGIE');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);

Hi,
the work has been done in reports. You can use a lexical parameter in reports to add a condition for sorting to the query like:
select .. from .. where ... &p_order.
Then add another parameter to the report (for example p_param). Fill p_param via your interface in forms (SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER, ....) with the column name. Then build a report trigger like:
if :p_param is null
then
:p_order:= null;
else
:p_order:= 'order by '||:p_param;
end if;
But have a look, that p_param can only get correct values.

Passing the column name on Where condition based on input parameter

Hi,
I am using Oracle10g. Following are my table schema.
Table Name : Codes
Columns( ID, Level0, Level1,Level2)
View Name : SampleView
I have a scenario : A parameter will be passed to my view from C# application. I need to cut the last 4 places of the parameter and need to check 4 conditions as follows :
1. IF last 4 places of parameter contains the value as "AMPD" then pass level0 column on where condition.
Sample code : A123XPAMPD
Expeted Result: Select * from Codes where Level0 ='A123XPAMPD'
2. IF last 4 places of parameter contains the value as "Alpha numeric" then pass level1 column on where condition.
Sample code : A123XPAA00
Expeted Result: Select * from Codes where Level1 ='A123XPAA00'
3. IF last 4 places of parameter contains the value as 0000 then pass level1 column on where condition.
Sample code : A123XP0000
Expeted Result: Select * from Codes where Level1 ='A123XP0000'
4. IF last 4 places of parameter contains the value as (cannot be all 0's) and cannot contain "Alphabets" then pass level2 column on where condition.
Sample code : A123XP1001
Expeted Result: Select * from Codes where Level2 ='A123XP1001'
Could any one please help me on writing this logic inside the view.
Thanks in advance.

Do you want to make sure that at least one alphabet and one number is there?
select case
     when regexp_like('1111','^[a-zA-Z]+$') -"This says - Only alphabets, not even space
          THEN 'Alphabets'
     when regexp_like('1111','^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$') --"This says - Only alpha-numeric, not even space
      and regexp_like('1111','[a-zA-Z]') --"To make sure atleast one alphabet is there
      and regexp_like('1111','[0-9]') --"To make sure atleast one number is there
          THEN 'AlphaNumeric'
       else 'NULL' --"This is a string. Not actual NULL
      end

Issues to pass a column name as parameter. please advice.

hi all,
i have some difficulty with oracle reports. i'm a novice with 2 days beginner knowledge.
i am not able to use lexical parameters in reports. my query is simple like
select &col_name abc from xyz;
i have tried making a parameter before creating the SQL but still i recieve the error saying that ORA-00922: missing expression.
also i have tried with bind variables like
select :col_name abc from xyz;
but it gives a :col_name inplace of the records data.
could some help me with step by step procedure for creating a lexical parameter.
i am using reports 6i.
please let me know for any details required.
thanks in advance!!!

When I create a lexical, I simply type in the SQL:
select
&lp_column_name
from table_x;Save the sql, then the lexical parameter will be automatically created. After that you can specify what lp_column_name means, by specifying its value in the Before Report trigger. You'll probably have something like this in the PL/SQL editor:
begin
if :p_column_name is not null then
:lp_column_name := :p_column_name;
end if;
end;where :p_column_name is one of the input parameters when user runs a report in Oracle Applications.

Execute immediate with using clause to pass column name dynamically

Hai,
Is there any way using execute immeidate to pass the column name dynamically. I used to pass the column value as dynamic with the help of "Using clause" . But if i use to pass column name, it is giving numberic error at run time. Eg,. for testing has been given below.
1. Column value as dynamic, which is working correctly.
create or replace function testexeimm (acctnum char)
return number as
acctbal number;
begin
execute immediate 'select balance from acct_master where acct_no=:a' into acctbal using acctnum;
return acctbal;
end;
2. Column name as dynamic which is not working
create or replace function testexeimm (colnam char)
return char as
acctbal char;
begin
execute immediate 'select :a from ch_acct_mast where rownum=1' into acctbal using colnam;
return acctbal;
end;
Any help in this regard will be highly appericated.
Regards
Sridhar

So the variable has to be numeric too:
create or replace function testexeimm (colnam char)
return number as
acctbal number;
begin
execute immediate 'select '|||colnam||' from ch_acct_mast where rownum=1' into acctbal;
return acctbal;
end;Max

thanks for your reply
i 'm doing what exactly you mention here .
my problem here is
i have 15 columns
i am executing a query based on the values of the column(column name) in the target page
1)here i am passing(all) the column values to the next page-but i want to pass only one column values(column name)
when i click on any cell of that column
OR
2)i can pass all column name to target page -there(in the target page) i can filter out

How to obtain the updated column name in a trigger?

Hello everyone,
I need to know for audit propose the updated column name in a After Update Trigger on a Table.
The table have more than 20 columns, and i think that do more than 20 conditions asking for the difference between the :new value and the :old value is not the best way.
Thanks for the help!
LCJ

Hi,
Thanks to all for the replays.
I didn't know that i can pass the column name to the UPDATING. This is only possible on 10g??
Any way, i pass the column name and works fine, but i have another issue because of that.
I obtain the column name from a cursor that query user_tab_columns view, when i try to obtain the value of the :old or :new, i can't because i don't know how to obtain the value of the value.
This example show better:
DECLARE
vOldValue Varchar2(50);
Cursor cur_Column_Names Is
Select COLUMN_NAME
From User_Tab_Columns
Where TABLE_NAME = 'table_name';
BEGIN
For var_cursor In cur_Column_Names Loop
If Updating(var_cursor.COLUMN_NAME) Then
vOldValue := '?'; -- How obtain the value of the :old. + >var_cursor.COLUMN_NAME??
End If;
End Loop;
END;Thanks to all for the help.

Templates and Passing a Report Name

I need to create a template and have the report name passed on to that template, but I need a bit more detailed of an explanation then the following:
Create a user parameter on the template and then pass the report name to the parameter at run time.

I wish to have the report name sent to the template so that at runtime the report name will show. I have created a parameter for this to be passed to, and put a field in the header of the template to accept the parameter: what I need to know is how do you send the name of the report which exists in the property palette under -Report -General Information - Name node to the field on the template so it shows at runtime.
Thanks

Passing a Schema Name to a Procedure

Hi,
I'm hoping there's a really simple answer to this...
We have an Oracle database containing many schemata, all customer schemata are identical but hold different data pertaining to each customer.
We also have a 'reporting' schema which has select privileges on all the other schemata.
In this reporting schema we have various ref cursor returning procedures, and we use dot notation to reference the required schema - E.g. 'select * from SCHEMA1.Customers'.
What I'd like to do is pass a schema name as a parameter to a procedure so the one procedure could cover all schemata. - E.g. call p_GetCustomers('SchemaNameParameter'). The procedure would then return the customer data for a given schema.
All I've come up with (thus far) is using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.
E.g. (very simplified)
create or replace procedure p_GetCustomers(pSchema in varchar2) as
vExecuteString varchar2(100);
begin
vExecuteString := 'select * from '|| pSchema ||'.ICustomers';
execute immediate vExecuteString ;
end;
This does the job in extremely simple procedures/functions, but we have some heavy-duty procedures that would make it extremely hard to do the concatenation as they mention the schema all over the place.
What I'd ideally like is something like...
create or replace procedure p_GetCustomers(pSchema in varchar2) as
begin
select * from pSchema.Customers;
end;
But the above won't compile (table or view does not exist...).
I'd be extremely grateful if somebody could advise on this...
Thanking you in advance (and hope!)...

The owner of the procedure needs to have the ALTER SESSION system privilege granted directly to them, but that is all. The SET CURRENT_SCHEMA <name> just defines the namespace to look in, it does not make you that user. The reporting user (presumably the procedure owner) still needs to have SELECT privileges on all of the tables.

My qs is How to pass e-mail id to RECIPIENT(To:) column in Email Box.

thanks for your reply
i 'm doing what exactly you mention here .
my problem here is
i have 15 columns
i am executing a query based on the values of the column(column name) in the target page
1)here i am passing(all) the column values to the next page-but i want to pass only one column values(column name)
when i click on any cell of that column
OR
2)i can pass all column name to target page -there(in the target page) i can filter out
i think option 1 would good if you filter out the unwanted columns
