Passing report results parameters to different page

Question

Hi y'all,
I was wondering how report results (results acquired by custom written sql query) can be passed to different pages?
Can anyone help or provide me with a link which can point me to some documentation on this subject.
Thanks,
Cleo

Cleo,
Do you want the records fetched by the SQl query available in other pages inorder to use that as a source for processes in those pages ?
One way is to define a collection in the SQL report page and fetch records into that collection on page load. Change the Report region to refer to the collection.
For example, you have a SQL report based on the query
SELECT 'a','b', 'c' from dualYou can have a Before header PLSQL process in that page that fetches these records into that collection
BEGIN
  APEX_COLLECTION.TRUNCATE_COLLECTION ('REPORT_RECORDS');
  APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY (
      p_collection_name = > 'REPORT_RECORDS',
      p_query => q'!SELECT 'a','b', 'c' from dual!'
END;Change the SQL report to
select * from apex_collections WHERE collection_name = 'REPORT_RECORDS'In any page where you want to use the reports records , they would be available in the collection.
