Querying a Worksheet from PL/SQL Dynamic Page in Oracle Portal

Is there a way to actually ask Discoverer to give me a list of values for a report property from outside Discoverer?
In my case, I am trying to add reports to Oracle Portal via the Worksheet Portlet but I want to build a select list that contains valid entries for discoverer to run through the portlet for a discoParameter value. Is there any better way to get the list of values other than running the report's query 2x (once in discoverer to load the report and once in portal to get the list of values)?

Hello David,
This is not a feature for Discoverer Portlet but as far as I can see Oracle Portal has Page Parameter Form that migh help in creating dynamic list of values. Please check in MetaLink :
Note.292521.1 How to Create a Page Parameter Form with Dynamic LOV
Once the Parameter has been created, it can be used from Discoverer Portlet too :

Automated tool to convert from Forms to Dynamic Page for Oracle Portal?

Hi Experts,
We are thinking to convert majority of the forms in our portal to dynamic pages. Is there any tool to automate the conversion from Forms to Dynamic page for Oracle Portal 9.0.4.1.0?
Thanks, Abbas

Dear Abbas,
You seem to have two issues... ;-)
If you are finding the Forms are getting corrupt very easily, I'd suggest you go and open a Service Request into Oracle Support (http://metalink.oracle.com). There are a couple of ways where you can have these not corrupted (depeding on the Portal version you are in) and if there isn't yet a way you may get a bug logged and fixed within the next patchset eventually (improving the product functionality).
As to changing it to a dynamic page it might give you a bit more flexibility... yeah. It really depends on what you desire to do. I'd slowly start to code them in this way if your goal is this. As to the former coded forms unfortunately as I've said there isn't a strait way to do that, so you may do this slowly in time...
I hope it helps you a bit further...
Cheers,
Pedro.

Best way to spool DYNAMIC SQL query to file from PL/SQL

Best way to spool DYNAMIC SQL query to file from PL/SQL [Package], not SqlPlus
I'm looking for suggestions on how to create an output file (fixed width and comma delimited) from a SELECT that is dynamically built. Basically, I've got some tables that are used to define the SELECT and to describe the output format. For instance, one table has the SELECT while another is used to defined the column "formats" (e.g., Column Order, Justification, FormatMask, Default value, min length, ...). The user has an app that they can use to customize the output...which leaving the gathering of the data untouched. I'm trying to keep this formatting and/or default logic out of the actual query. This lead me into a problem.
Example query :
SELECT CONTRACT_ID,PV_ID,START_DATE
FROM CONTRACT
WHERE CONTRACT_ID = <<value>>Customization Table:
CONTRACT_ID : 2,Numeric,Right
PV_ID : 1,Numeric,Mask(0000)
START_DATE : 3,Date,Mask(mm/dd/yyyy)The first value is the kicker (ColumnOrder) as well as the fact that the number of columns is dynamic. Technically, if I could use SqlPlus...then I could just use SPOOL. However, I'm not.
So basically, I'm trying to build a generic routine that can take a SQL string execute the SELECT and map the output using data from another table to a file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jason

You could build the select statement within PL/SQL and open it using a cursor variable. You could write it to a file using the package 'UTL_FILE'. If you want to display the output using SQL*Plus, you could have an out parameter as a ref cursor.

Migrating Japanese Characters from MS SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 9i usng Jsp

Hi ,
I have a situation where the Japanese characters are to be migrated from MS SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 91 and then render the same using JSP.
I followed the below approach,
1. Extract the Japanese data from MS SQL Server and generate an XML
2. Parse the XML and store it into Oracle 9i database which is of UTF-8 encoding.
3. On retreiving and rendering using the Shift-JIS adds few junk characters additionally.
When I try to copy paste the Japanese contents from XML to a text file, it is working fine.
Could some one help me in resolving this issue?
It is very urgent, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is documentation in the reference guide sent with the workbench, there is this discussion forum, the support web page (which includes tech notes and FAQ's), and the company specific procedural language documentation.
There is also an older document for use with the old sybase toolkits which may be obscelete, and there are some internal documents which were for internal consumption.

DB Migration from MS SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 9i

Hi Guys
I want to migrate the data from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 9i.
Could ou please suggest me the how to proceed.
I can simply extract the das in CSV format as their are Foreign key , Primary key concept is there. So what will be the best way to proceed ....
regards
Macky

Macky,
In the coming months we will add support for SQL Server 2005 to the Oracle Migration Workbench. See our statement of direction on OTN for more details.
If you have extracted the data into a csv file format, you could construct a SQL Loader control file to load this data, assuming you have already created the table on the Oracle side.

How to preview a page in Oracle Portal?

Hi gurus,
I'd like to know if there is anyway to preview a page in Oracle Portal 10g 9.0.4.
Customer needs to preview the page (how it will looks like) before inserting
new contents (image, link, url, item, portlet etc.) in it, so just the page manager
(user or group that has MANAGER access in that page) can see it that time and
no other user can, until the page manager aprove the new format of the page and
"deploy" the page to the user.
Any suggestions on how to do this?

Hi,
I'm afraid there's not a preview option as you describe it. It is something our customers have asked for too, so I'll be happy if somebody knows a decent way to accomplish this. I hope this is included in a future release.
Kind regards.

Auto Query in Master Detail Form using dynamic page doesn't work

I created a Master-Detail form, and implement AutoQuery using a dynamic page
with the following code :
<HTML>
<BODY>
<ORACLE>DECLARE
nre_ VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
nre_ := emp_nre;
if nre_ is not null then
net_portal.Popula_Agregados(nre_);
net_portal.Popula_Docs_Agregados (nre_);
htp.p('<iframe id=myFrame name="myFrame" frameborder=0 width="250%"
height="300"
src="/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=
3
388118140&p_arg_names=_show_header&p_arg_values=NO&p_arg_names=_cad_nre_cond&p_a
rg_values=%3D&p_arg_names=cad_nre&p_arg_values='||nre_||'">
</iframe>');
end if;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
htp.p(SQLERRM);
END;
</ORACLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
It works fine when we access the first time to the page, but if i press the
save button after inserting or updating a detail record, the header record is
lost. How can i avoid this situation ?

I changed query:
select
Replace(
'<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#ed-item.gif" border="0" alt="EditMap" usemap="#editmap***id***"></img>
<map name="editmap***id***">
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,16,16" href="http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=&APP_ID.:'
|| decode ( type, 'FOLDER', '33', '22' )
|| ':&APP_SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P'
|| decode ( type, 'FOLDER', '33', '22' )
|| '_ID,P'
|| decode ( type, 'FOLDER', '33', '22' )
|| '_CALLING_PAGE:' || id || ',&APP_PAGE_ID." ></area></map>' ,
'***id***', id
) Edit,
id,
type,
name,
decode ( type, 'FOLDER', 33, 22 ) target
from tThe idea is - each img uses its own map.
It works now.

Adding pagination in report build from PL/SQL dynamic content using htp.p

Hi,
I have a requirement for which i used PL/SQL dynamic content to build my report and i displayed my report using a cursor and loop by HTP.P function.
Now problem is I have report with more than 500 rows and I want to add pagination concept for this report.
How can i do that?
Thanks in advance.

To preserve heading on each page for a HTML table you can use the THEADER, TFOOTER and TBODY tags (see example). To force page breaks, try experimenting with these style attributes:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
tr.breakhere {page-break-before: always}
</STYLE>
<tr class="breakhere">Table Example:
htp.tableopen;
htp.print('<THEAD style="display:table-header-group">');
... your table headers here
htp.print('</THEAD>');
htp.print('<TFOOT style="display:table-footer-group"><TR><TD></TFOOT>');
htp.print('<TBODY>');
... your rows here
htp.print('</TBODY>');

Best way to print result of query to file from pl/sql?

If I have a query, let's say 'select * form my_table', what's the best way to print it to a file from pl/sql?
Do I have to create a cursor, go through each line, and use some file output function? Or is there some clever way to say 'print this query to file!'

The rest of my procedure (the one generating the query itself) is in PL/SQL. So it needs to be done from there. Any tricks?
(What's paper? I meant 'write to file')

Migration from sybase sql server 7 to Oracle 8i

Hi,
We have a very old Sybase database which contains some 2gb of data which is still being used by the users, we want to phase this out. We want to selectively export some tables and import them into our oracle 8i database. I have looked at documentation related to the migration workbench and it wont work for us because the version of sybase database is very old and I cannot find any client software either to help me to connect to the database.
I noticed in this forum, several messages suggesting the use of bcp to export data from the sql server and then sql*loader to import the data into oracle.
Can anybody please send me the information on bcp and how to export data using that and then how to import it in oracle. I am familiar with sql*loader but am not a expert so any help on how to define the control file etc for sql*loader would be helpful.
Thanks

Hi Hari,
You will be able to get the Beta release on this site in the next
couple of days in the 'Software' section of this page.
We are just waiting on our web page administrators to make this
software public.
The amount of interest in the SQL Server 7.0 plugin is
substantial, so we are focussing on making it production as soon
as possible.
Please provide feedback on the beta to [email protected]

Errors while migrating from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 9i

Hi All,
We are trying to completely move our application from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database to Oracle 9i. I am doing it using the latest version of Oracle SQL Developer (1.2 build 29.98).
When I right click my MSSQL server db and click "Capture Microsoft SQL server", it just shows a dialog with "Close" enabled.

Migrating 250gb from ms sql server 2000 to oracle

Hi,
i am trying to migrate data from sql server 2000 to oracle. I have tried the online method and it takes more than a day to copy one table with 250 million rows. Currently i am trying the offline method of using migration scripts with sql loader.
this also seems to be taking a very long time for the single table with 250 million rows. Is there an effective way of doing this? please help
thanks

Well, lets look at what you're doing. You're using jdbc/odbc to move 250,000,000 rows. thats like using a straw to pump gas. We recommend that any migration over 10-20 MB should be done using the offline data move.
A couple of questions
1. How fast does the bcp go? How long does it take to complete?
2. When using SQL Loader, are you loading it in raw format? Have you switched off any indexes on the table? Do you have the capability to load in parallel?
Theres a lot you can do with the SQL Loader side to make it a lot fast. You might also want to consider dropping a note on the database forum too.

Copy table from Ms SQL Server 2005 to Oracle with SSIS package

Hi all
I am witting an SSIS package to copy 2 tables from Ms SQL Server 2005 to an Oracle 10g database.
Problem: I can only see the Microsoft OLDB Provider for Oracle and it is too slow. How can I use the Oracle ODBC in aMs SQL Server 2005 or building a .net SSIS package.
thanks

Yes I am able to see the driver on the Data Source (ODBC), I also created a connection to the Oracle database. The problem in Ms SQL Server 2005 is that the ODBC connection I created is not listed. None of the lo local connections are listed, only Microsoft OLEDB connections
