PL/SQL API for report 9i

I am working with Report Builder 9.0.2.0.3 in Oracle 9ids. One of the new feature supposed to be Event Based Publishing through PL/SQL API but I am unable to locate this API. I wanr to call reports from a database package.
Where is this API located and How can I call it? Is it with the Oracle 9i packages or in report builder?

PL/SQL API for Creating Sales Order

Hi,
I am new to Oracle SOA 11g.
I have done the Deleting Sales Order using PL/SQL API ( Oracle Apps Adapter ) [ API Name: OE_ORDER_PUB.DELETE_ORDER ] in SOA BPEL. While executing the BPEL, it is correctly deleting Sales Order in E Business Suite which is created in EBS User Interface. I don't face any problem while deleting the sales order.
Now, in same way, I have to create a new Sales Order using PL/SQL API in SOA-BPEL. I don't find any API's related to creating Sales Order in Order Management Suite (OM_PF) -->Order Management (ONT) --> Sales Order (ONT_SALES_ORDER) --> PL/SQL --> Process Order API (OE_ORDER_PUB) in Module Browser.
Please tell me which PL/SQL API to use to create new Sales Order in BPEL.

DB SQL API for BDB: out of memory

Hi,
I posted a related thread here: Report Bug of SQLite-compatible API: Out of Memory Error but it is not answered yet so I am posting it again...Sorry for duplicate.
Basically, we are evaluating Berkeley DB as a candidate for our database solution. However, we ran into an out-of-memory error when using BDB's SQLite-compatible API to deal with memory databases. Here are some simple steps to repro the issue:
1. Open a memory database
2. Insert many records (about 200,000 records) into it
3. Close the database
4. Repeat from step 1.
Expected result: because I already closed the previous memory database, there should be no error.
Actual result: out of memory.
Here's the test program I am using:
int
testMemoryDatabase()
db_handle *db;
const char *sql;
int i;
// Setup database
db = setup(":memory:");
// Create tables
sql = "create table Table1 (col1 varchar(32), col2 int);"
"create table Table2 (col1 varchar(32), col2 varchar(64));"
"create table Table3 (col1 varchar(32), col2 int);"
"create table Table4 (col1 varchar(64), col2 int, col3 smallint, col4 int, col5 DateTime);"
"create table Table5 (col1 varchar(64), col2 varchar(64), col3 varchar(1024));";
exec_sql(db, sql);
// Do insert operations
sql = "insert into Table1 values ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', '523620105');insert into Table2 values ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx');insert into Table3 values ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', '1688709171');insert into Table4 values ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', '844867696', '32671917', '424084999', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx');insert into Table5 values ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx');insert into Table1 values ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', '0');insert into Table2 values ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', '0');insert into Table3 values ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', '0');insert into Table4 values ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', '0', '0', '0', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx');insert into Table5 values ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', '0');";
for (i = 0; i < 20000; ++i)
if (i % 1000 == 0) printf("%d\n", i);
exec_sql(db, sql);
// Clean up
cleanup(db);
int
main()
db_handle *db;
testMemoryDatabase();
testMemoryDatabase();
testMemoryDatabase();
testMemoryDatabase();
// Add more testMemoryDatabase() calls...
The out of memory error somewhat blocks us to use BDB memory DB...if it can be solved that will be great. Also, please point out right place if the forum is not the place to report such a bug.
Thanks a lot!

UCCX 10.1 - Linked Server - Copying HR data to external SQL Server for reporting

I have a customer that is migrating from UCCX 7 to UCCX 10. They currently have a 2008 SQL Server R2 that they use for custom reports. They have a package that runs nightly to copy relevant data from UCCX 7 to the their server and then run reports daily against that database.   Pretty easy when everything is in MS SQL.  My plan was to set up a linked server in SQL 2008 to the UCCX server. This would allow me to easily run a query against Informix and move the data over as before. However, I am having problems adding the linked server.
I have installed the Informix drivers (both 32 and 64 bit) during the troubleshooting.
The DSN is created and connects to UCCX just fine.
When I attempt to add the linked server using 64 bit driver DSN I get the following:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "UCCX101".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "UCCX101" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "UCCX101" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "UCCX101" returned message "[Informix][Informix ODBC Driver][-11302] Insufficient Connection information was supplied". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
When I attempt to add the linked server using the 32 bit driver DSN I get the following:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "32UCCX101".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "32UCCX101" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
It appears to me there is a 32/64 bit conflict no matter route I go.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
Is there a better approach to take to achieve the ultimate goal?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
TIA
John

I have created linked servers on an SQL2K box that points back to CCX. First off, you have to set the password for the UCCX HR user to some known value.
exec sp_dropserver 'fonccx9_01', 'droplogins'
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server='fonccx9_01', -- Name of the Linked Server, when it is created.
@srvproduct='Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC', -- OLE DB Provider.
@provider='MSDASQL', -- Provider_name.
@datasrc ='fonccx9-01', -- DSN Name of the ODBC Data Source.
@provstr= -- ODBC Connection String.
'Driver={IBM Informix ODBC};Server=fonccx9_01_uccx;Database=db_cra; Uid=uccxhruser; Pwd=Some-Password;'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
    @rmtsrvname = 'fonccx9_01',
    @useself = 'FALSE',
    @rmtuser = 'uccxhruser',
    @rmtpassword = 'Some-Password'
Note that the server name is "fonccx9-01", but the dash is an illegal character in the server name, so you have to change that to an underscore. You still have to manually build the ODBC data source on the box where you are trying to create the linked server.

Dynamic sql query for report based on user input

Hi everyone,
I have built custom search fields (name, date born, gender etc.) in the search region and in the results region a report need to be displayed.
Now I'm not very experienced with Apex or Oracle sql, but could anyone telll me how to first check if a user filled in a field and then build a query based upon what field the user filled in to submit.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
regards,
Cleo
Edited by: Cleopatra on Jan 18, 2011 5:51 AM

Hi, Cleopatra. Welcome to OTN!
If you don't have too many fields instead of checking to see if they're filled in you can use OR conditions in yoru WHERE_CLAUSE to check for NULLS to ignore NULLS, something like (you will have to test this carefully!)
AND some_column = NVL(:P24_1,some_column)the idea being that if the field is NULL then the column will match itself - in this case assuming the column itself does not have a null value

Help with PL/SQL returning SQL query for Report

Hi
I have got a report which I have formatted as PL/SQL function body returning SQL query.
I have the following code
declare
q VARCHAR2(32000); -- query
w VARCHAR2(4000) ; -- where clause
begin
q := 'select min(identified_date) first_identified,' ||
' max(actual_resolution_date) last_closed,' ||
' count("HELPDESK_CALL_ID) total_issues,' ||
' from tbl_helpdesk_calls';
if :P9_call_type != '-1' then
w := 'HELPDESK_CALL_TYPE_ID = :P9_call_type';
end if;
q := q || ' WHERE '|| w;
return q;
end;
When I apply changes I get this error message
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. ORA-00972: identifier is too long
Any Idea where I maybe going wrong?

thanks its compiling now but when I run the page I get this error message in the reports region
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
This is my code that I have at the momment.
declare
q VARCHAR2(32000); -- query
w VARCHAR2(4000) ; -- where clause
we VARCHAR2(1) := 'N'; -- identifies if where clause exists
begin
q := 'select min(identified_date) first_identified,' ||
' max(actual_resolution_date) last_closed,' ||
' count(HELPDESK_CALL_ID) total_issues,' ||
' sum(decode(status,''Open'',1,0)) open_issues, ' ||
' sum(decode(status,''On-Hold'',1,0)) onhold_issues,' ||
' sum(decode(status,''Closed'',1,0)) closed_issues,' ||
' sum(decode(status,''Open'',decode
(priority,''High'',1,0),0)) open_high_prior,' ||
' sum(decode(status,''Open'',decode
(priority,''Medium'',1,0),0)) open_medium_prior, '||
' sum(decode(status,''Open'',decode
(priority,''Low'',1,0),0)) open_low_prior '||
' from tbl_helpdesk_calls';
if :P9_call_type != '-1' then
w := 'where HELPDESK_CALL_TYPE_ID = :P9_call_type';
we := 'Y';
end if;
if we = 'Y' then
q := q ||w;
end if;
return q;
end;
I have a select list with a list of reports. what I am trying to do build an sql depending on what the :p9_call_type value is. -1 represents the display value of -All Reports- so if the user selects all reports it should display all results thus removing the where clause. However as my code stands when I user clicks on all reports he get the correct results for all reports. If the user selects anything else they get the error message above.

Sql query for report?

Hi all
I have one big table with column:
code,street,data_type,credit,debt,saldo,date
I was creating query like
select sum(saldo),code from tableA where data_types=1 and date <'201010' group by code
but cant expand this query to be as report like
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3 COLUMN4
sum(saldo) -where type=1 and date = '201201', sum(saldo) where type=2, sum(saldo) where date ='201205' , code
whats best solution to report sums for diferent data_types on one line with just one code per lines?

Get a insert session value for SQL query at report

Hi friends
I created a global temp table and procedure to support web search form.
and a search result report. The procudure
gets search result from multip tables and
insert into temp table --recordsearch. I can get value from temp table by call procedure
at SQL*Plus.
However, I can not get this value by web report.
How can I get this insert session value and pass to SQL query for report?
Thanks,
Newweb
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE recordsearch
(emp_id          VARCHAR2(200),
ssn               VARCHAR2(9),
fname          VARCHAR2(200),
lname           VARCHAR2(200),
m_name          VARCHAR2(200)
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;

it possible that your web form does not have a persistent, dedicated connection. if you have connection pooling for example, multiple sessions will see the same instance of the GTT, so if one deletes it, then nobody sees it (or you can see others data). if the connections are not persistent, then they can disconnect between calls, deleting the GTT table.

Using AE(htmldb 2.0) as for reporting tool for other oracle databases.

Maybe I was mistaken, but when I first saw the HTMLDB demo's I saw this as a slick way to build a browser based reporting tool for the masses for quasi-ad-hoc reporting on some of our larger databases that currently have limited reporting capability, and also as a possible replacement for the many MSAccess applets we have.
I just got 2.0 installed and working on a 9i database and went through the basic tutorials, but I can't find much info on how to connect to other oracle databases.
Are my options as follows?:
create dblinks from the local database that houses htmldb to all the other databases?
or
install htmldb schemas on each database I want to access from htmldb?
or
I'll keep looking, but if any of you have any pointers or know of a tutorial that explains the best way to do this it would be greatly appreciated!
tia

As for question 1, yep, that's what I mean. Example:
In a schema in the App Express instance, create a user called "APP1_USER", and then
create view app1_user.people as select * from people@link_user@remotedb
As for the next question, using the built-in insert/update/delete processes will give you
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
among other errors. Apparently version 2.1 will fix this. See Cannot Update VARCHAR column in Remote DB
We address this problem by creating pl/sql APIs for DML, and then writing our own insert/update processes. Slows us down a little, but even with that, App Express remains a productive choice for us.
Another weird problem: auto-row fetch (built-in to HTML DB) doesn't work over db links when you have two columns for a primary key. Many ways around this, e.g. create sequence-populated primary key, create a view with single column that concatenates primary key column values (key1|key2)
Hope this helps!

Query Best Practice for Reports

I am new to Apex and I am wondering what is the best practice for store your sql quries for reports. I am a believer of storing all sql behind pacakge functions or procedures. And it looks like the only options for report pages are to use a direct SQL query, or a function that returns a query as a string. Yes the function method counts as putting the code in Oracle but not really. It is still getting compiled and parsed on the Apex side. It would be nice if Apex could handle a cursor but I have read that it doesn't directly. You have to have a function that returns a cursor and then create a pipelined function that calls the cursor function. That is kind of silly. Is there some other way to do this?
Apex 4.2
Oracle 11.2.0.2
Thanks for any input.
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
I'm not necessarily a believer in packaging queries. I'm a little more pragmatic in that I believe it may make sense in environments where you have a client environment that just expects a result set that is then manipulated by the client for the purposes of presentation, pagination etc. Apex has a different architecture in that the client is purely an HTML presentation layer (browser) and the presentation, pagination etc is formulated in the database along with the data using the Oracle web toolkit, which is a set of internal packages that produce HTML. Note that handling and manipulating ref cursors inside PL/SQL is not a joy, they were mainly designed to be passed out to external clients. (Often to shield programmers who don't or won't even try to understand relational concepts)
This means that when you create a report based on a query, the Apex engine will manipulate that base query, depending on the display requirements and pagination requirements of your report, before it submits that query to the database for execution. To get an idea of how this manipulation occurs, you can run your report in debug mode and check the actual query that is submitted to the database. If the query is presented as an already executed ref cursor, then the Apex engine can't execute in the way that it does. As you have already found out, the only way of using packaged queries returning ref cursors is by the use of a pipelined function, so that the Apex engine can treat the result as a normal query.
This is the architecture of Apex, and I suspect that re-engineering the Apex engine to handle ref cursors natively, as opposed to using a pipelining trick, would be a considerable change. I hope this at least helps to explain why ref cursors and Apex don't mix. I personally don't see the purpose of having an abstraction layer of packaged queries below an abstraction layer of an API such as Apex. SQL is a perfectly good API.

ADF BC VO based on PL/SQL-API

Hi,
We have the following scenario.
It exists a PL/SQL-API in the database which return a rowtype (the function must not be modified). These data are displayed in the GUI.
FUNCTION get_rec(p_parm IN table.column%type) RETURN table%rowtype;We found no declarative solution to create a ADF VO or ADF EO on a PL/SQL-API.
In the documentation "38.5 Basing an Entity Object on a PL/SQL Package API" the combine a db-view for reading (R) and pl/sql-api for the DML (CUD).
On solution would be to define a SQL Type for this scenario, and add a new PL/SQL-function (because the orginal function must not be modified) which returns the type.
FUNCTION get_rec(p_parm IN table.column%type) RETURN OUR_SQL_TYPE;Then we can use a statment like SELECT * FROM TABLE(pkg_x.get_rec(:param)) in the ADF BC VO.
Note:
We found [url https://database-api-based-adf-bc.samplecode.oracle.com/]database-api-based-adf-bc. but "Last Updated: Nov. 10, 2009 and Current Version: 0.2b" does not sound very encouraging.
And [url http://technology.amis.nl/blog/3315/creating-an-adf-application-based-on-plsql-api-part-one-reading-data-as-a-collection-of-sql-type-objects]adf-application-based-on-plsql-api. is a good blog-post too but adjustments in the database (SQL_TYPE, ...) must also be made.
Technologie: ADF 11g (Fusion Stack: ADF BC, ADF Faces)
Question: Is there a more elegant (declarative) solution for this problem without making the request to change the code DB?
Best Regards
Martin

Martin, I've tried several of the strategies that you've mentioned, and the one I liked best was to write a new function to translate the rowtype to a nested table of object type so that you can create a VO that is a SELECT from TABLE. More work on the database side, but the VO is declarative. There really isn't much better because a PL/SQL record is only usable within PL/SQL.
John, I have used JPublisher which works well to create POJOs that execute PL/SQL functions and that represent database objects created with CREATE TYPE. It even generates the DDL and PL/SQL code that would be needed to create the object types to mirror PL/SQL record types. But you still have to write some code to integrate the generated code into ADF BC. In particular, the constructors for the POJOs take a Connection as an argument - obviously, you can't run PL/SQL without a connection to an Oracle RDBMS. So you usually want to instantiate the objects in an AM, which can provide a Connection. Not a bad tool - pretty useful for some scenarios, but still not as declarative as Martin (or I) would like.

Berkeley DB with SQL API: Where to start?

Hi,
I am an Oracle DBA and just starting to look at Berkeley DB for a new project at work. I intend to use the SQL API, so I have downloaded and installed Berkeley 11g R2 (using the windows msi).
However, I have been browsing around the documentation for 2 days now but still don't understand how to actually create a database! Is this not possible with the SQL API? Do I have to do it from "somewhere else" and just use the API to access the data?
The strange thing is, if I open the API (dbsql) I can create a table:
dbsql> create table test_tab(x int) ;
dbsql> .tables
test_tab
dbsql> exitBut I have no idea where that table is actually created and stored? I don't see a file on disk (a "database" is a file, right?). If I open dbsql again, the table is not shown.
Sorry for the dumb questions but I'm really an old relational-DB guy struggling to come to terms with this architecturally and functionally different idea of a database. Hope someone can help, or at least point me to a "Berkeley DB using SQL API for complete and utter dummies" type guide.
Regards,
El DBA

Hi Sandra,
Thanks very much for the information. I have been looking through the documentation and starting to get to grips with this now.
We do have one important issue though, which comes from within the FAQ you mentioned. I see it's also been talked about in this thread:
ado.net provider
In the FAQ, it says:
Does Berkeley DB support ADO.NET?
There are some known issues related to using the public domain SQLite ADO.NET provider with Berkeley DB. We are actively working on clearly defining those issues, and hopefully resolving them. Is there any idea of a date for the ado.net support? In our development, we are using that very same provider, which is the same one as mentioned in that thread (it's system.data.sqlite.dll from http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com) but will not be able to commit to developing with Berkeley until the support is offered.
Kind regards,
Adam
