Referencing static LOV from plsql

I have a number of static LOV's. How can I reference these in PL/SQL.
For example, I am creating a report using PL/SQL so that I can create the exact layout I require. The data uses a number of list of values so I need to convert the value fields into the displays fields from the list of values using PL/SQL.
How?

Jezzer,
It will depend on your version. If you are using 2.2 or 3.0, you could use the view APEX_APPLICATION_LOV_ENTRIES to access your lov values. It will automatically be limited to the workspace that your schema is associated with and then you can further qualify with the APPLICATION_ID and LIST_OF_VALUES_NAME. To see the view, navigate to Utilities > Application Express Views and query on lov.

Generate LOV from PLSQL

It says under List of Values " Lists of Values can also be based on a PL/SQL function that returns a query allowing the dynamic query to be dynamically constructed."
QUESTION:
Can I write my own PLSQL database function that generates the LOV and call it from within the LOV definition. IF so what is the syntax in the LOV definition? If I use DECLARE etc in the LOV dfn I get an error at runtime.
thanks PP

Sorry Jari,
If I do that I get
Error: ORA-20001: Query must begin with SELECT or WITH performing List of Values query: "return get_CONSENT_TYPE(:P1_CHILD_ID);".
I've worked it out. It has to be in the following style of syntax placed in the lov and driven by items calculated using calculations.
IF :MY_ITEM='10' THEN
RETURN
'SELECT ename, empno
FROM emp
WHERE depno = 10
ORDER BY 1';
ELSE
RETURN
'SELECT ename, empno
FROM emp
WHERE depno = :my_item
ORDER BY 1';
END IF;

SQL Select on Static LOV

Hi,
Im using XML Publisher to produce PDF Reports from my APEX application. Im using XLIFF to translate my application.
I need to decode some code values that may be multi-lingual from my application with SQL to produce the reports in XML Publisher.
Is it possible to access your Static Application LOVs from SQL? (Maybe some APEX Function??)
If it is possible can you also access your translated Static LOVs from SQL?
Thanks in advance!
-Immanuel

If you are running 3.0, the views are exposed in Utilities > APEX Views.
I just checked and we have specifically excluded the translated applications from the views - we will rectify that in some way in a future release. For now, I suggest you:
<ol><li>search your install for this file - apex_views.sql</li>
<li>copy the create statement for APEX_APPLICATION_LOV_ENTRIES</li>
<li>change the name of the view (so that you won't overwrite the one you have)</li>
<li>remove the following from the where clause
and not exists (
select 1 from wwv_flow_language_map
where translation_flow_id = f.id)
</li>
<li>run the statement as FLOWS_030000 (using either SQL*Plus or SQL Developer)</li>
<li>grant access on the new view to public (and create a public synonym if you don't want to qualify with FLOWS_030000)</LI>
</ol>
You will now have a view that will have all your lov values and you can join by the translated application id to find the rows you need. Given that this is so specific, you could even customize your new view further to provide you just what you need, without all the extra columns.
Hope it helps -

Referencing static html pages from jsps...

          Hi,
          This is probably a very simple thing to solve, but I'm having problems with referencing
          html pages from jsps under Weblogic.
          I get Error 404 - not found, whenever I try something like this in a JSP...
          <frame name="title" src="title.html" scrolling=no>
          The title.html file has definitely been copied into my ear file, and yet it isn't
          found. I can solve the problem by turning title.html into a jsp and registering
          it in web.xml. But this seems like serious overkill with static content!!
          Am I missing something really simple here?


          I've worked it out - directory mistake...
          Thanks,

Static LOV functions differently in 9.0.2 from 9.0.1

In my previous Portal applications under IAS 9.0.1 I had several static LOV's that contained the following structure:
DISPLAY VALUE RETURN VALUE
Login User Name #PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user
This worked as expected, the user sees the display of 'Login User Name' in a drop down list on a form, but the users login name was actually inserted into the table when Insert is selected.
I've since upgraded IAS to 9.0.2 (no patchsets installed)
This same LOV no longer works. What gets insert into the table is the string "PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user" and not the users name, as before.
I know I can kluge something similar into a dynamic LOV but does anyone know why this function call no longer works? I have several similar LOV's that get sequence number nextval's in a similar fashion and they no longer work either.
Thanks

Graph using static lov

I am using a static lov which has a code and description. I select an entry from this lov and it's code is stored in a table.
I now want to create a chart on the contents of this table, but need to translate the code stored in the table to the description stored in the static lov.
Is it possible to do this? If so, any hints!?
Toby

So you have a table with a code value in it. The description of the code value is in a static LOV item. I would suggest creating a table in the database with the code and description. Then use a dynamic LOV instead of the static LOV and of course for completeness sake create a foreign key from the table you currently have to your new LOV table.
Now to get the description of a code, you just do a SELECT on your code/description table. This would be helpful for a chart title maybe?
Your LOV item on your page will visually display the description, but when referenced it will have the value of the code. So have your SELECT statement in your chart reference your LOV in its WHERE clause.

Problem writing a sql query for a select list based on a static LOV

Hi,
I have the following table...
VALIDATIONS
ID          Number     (PK)
APP_ID          Number
REQUESTED     Date
APPROVED     Date
VALID_TIL     Date
DEPT_ID          Number     (FK)
I have a search form with the following field item variables...
P11_DEPT_ID (select list based on dynamic LOV from depts table)
P11_VALID (select list based on static Yes/No LOV)
A report on the columns of the Validations table is shown based on the values in the search form. So far, my sql query for the report is...
SELECT v.APP_ID,
v.REQUESTED,
v.APPROVED,
v.VALID_TIL,
d.DEPT
FROM DEPTS d, VALIDATIONS v
WHERE d.DEPT_ID = v.DEPT_ID(+)
AND (d.DEPT_ID = :P11_DEPT_ID OR :P11_DEPT_ID = -1)
This query works so far. My problem is that I don't know how to do a search based on the P11_VALID item - if 'yes' is selected, then the VALID_TIL date is still valid. If 'no' is selected then the VALID_TIL date has passed.
Can anyone help me to extend my query to include this situation?
Thanks.

Hello !
Let's have a look at my example:create table test
id        number
,valid_til date
insert into test values( 1, sysdate-3 );
insert into test values( 2, sysdate-2 );
insert into test values( 3, sysdate-1 );
insert into test values( 4, sysdate );
insert into test values( 5, sysdate+1 );
insert into test values( 6, sysdate+2 );
commit;
select * from test;
def til=yes
select *
from test
where decode(sign(trunc(valid_til)-trunc(sysdate)),1,1,0,1,-1)
       =decode('&til','yes',1,-1);
def til=no
select *
from test
where decode(sign(trunc(valid_til)-trunc(sysdate)),1,1,0,1,-1)
       =decode('&til','yes',1,-1);
drop table test; It's working fine, I've tested it.
The above changes to my first idea I did because of time portion of the DATE datatype in Oracle and therefore the wrong result for today.
For understandings:
1.) TRUNC removes the time part of DATE
2.) The difference of to date-values is the number of days between.
3.) SIGN is the mathematical function and gives -1,0 or +1 according to an negative, zero or positiv argument.
4.) DECODE is like an IF.
Inspect your LOV for the returning values. According to my example they shoul be 'yes' and 'no'. If your values are different, you may have to modify the DECODE.
Good luck,
Heinz

Bug Report: Static LOV's and PDF Printing with Tabular Forms

I have a tabular form, which acts as an editable report. Some columns are 'Standard Report Column' and some are Select Lists, using Static LOV's with the contents of
Yes;Y,No;NThe purpose of the page is to allow users to edit yes/no attributes of a row. Then, they can print the report.
To make the current sort of the report reflect what is being printed to PDF, I've used a Report Layout associated with the report region, as oposed to a report query. A report query in this case would not reflect the sort of the report (all columns are sortable asc/desc).
Anyway, I link my report with the layout created, and go to run it. I get this message.
ORA-06550: line 1, column 50: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "," when expecting one of the following: := . ( @ % ; The symbol ":= was inserted before "," to continue.
     Error      ERR-1000 Unable to determine LOV from "declare function x return varchar2 is begin Yes;Y,No;N return null; end; begin wwv_flow_utilities.g_query := x; end;".
OK
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-01403: no data foundI'm guessing the product is trying to take my static LOV and place it in a function to be able to generate which value is being displayed as text, from the select lists. However, it doesn't work.
I've been able to get around it - by adding a YES_NO domain to my domain_codes table (a table which associates abreviations with full meanings), I can set by select lists to be query based select lists using the SQL select code_meaning, code from domain_codes where domain = 'YES_NO_CODE'. This still allows the user to dropdown Yes/No fields, and the PDF printing doesn't break.
It is just me, or can't the PDF printing handle static LOV's in tabular forms/reports?

Hi Patrick.
I've tried STATIC:Yes;Y,No;Nwhile stating it is a Select List (static LOV). The values that are rendered on the page are
[STATIC:Yes]
[No        ]
----------I tried the same thing with STATIC2 instead of STATIC, and the same thing happened.
It also broke if I tried STATIC or STATIC2 under Select List (query based LOV). This is within a report where there is no hyperlink to say 'Create/Edit static list' or 'Create Dynamic List', as there is under select list items.
However, I am finding that for some reason, the values being sent to the PDF are not the values in the database (Y/N), but the showing values (Yes/No). This happens when I use the domain_code select query as the query based LOV.
Furthermore, I cannot get any columns not rendering on the page to be generated in the PDF. I have a column that groups items depending on values, and I want this grouping to display in the PDF instead on the original value, ideally.
Cheers,
K.

Work area or table not referenced statically in the program

Hi Friends,
When i make extended syntax check for my program, i am getting error as this work area or table not referenced statically in the program .
How can i overcome that .
Please give solution nfor this .
Thanx.
Title was edited by:
Alvaro Tejada Galindo

While Rich has already provided you the right solution, I think you are concerned about this error only because of your "Project Standards" - which says no EPC errors.
So delete the work area or field from your data definitions if you think that it is not being used.
If you think it being used dynamically put a comment of " #EC NEEDED next to it. The error will now be hidden.

Can't create multiple dependent LOVs from the same bind variable

Hi all,
I'm having difficulty creating multiple dependent LOVs from queries based on the same bind variable in my JSF application (JDev 10.1.3.1). Basically I have a static LOV in a af:selectOneChoice component from which users select a value which then becomes the bind variable value for two separate queries that generate two different dependent LOV. Having developed the code along the lines of Steve Muench 's blog (http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2006/04/03.html#a685), the first dependent LOV works really well. The first dynamic LOV gets refreshed whenever the list from the static LOV changes, and I can execute other queries based on the values selected.
The problem arises when I want to create the second dynamic/dependent LOV that has the same bind variable based on the same selected value from the static LOV. Here I would also like the functionality whereby the second dynamic LOV is also refreshed after the selected value in the static LOV changes. Thinking that all I had to do was replicate the methodology used in creating the first dependent LOV, I created the second iterator, invokeAction and other binding components in the PageDef. The executable section now looks like the following:
<iterator id="SelectStaticQueryViewObjIterator"
              Binds="SelectStaticQueryViewObj" RangeSize="-1"
              DataControl="DMSApplicationModule1DataControl"/>
<invokeAction id="refreshDynamicQuery1BindParameter"
              Binds="ExecuteWithParams1" Refresh="prepareModel"
              RefreshCondition="#{empty requestScope.VariableChanged}"/>
<iterator id="SelectDynamicQuery1ViewObjIterator"
              Binds="SelectDynamicQuery1ViewObj" RangeSize="-1"
              DataControl="DMSApplicationModule1DataControl"/>
<invokeAction id="refreshDynamicQuery2BindParameter"
              Binds="ExecuteWithParams2" Refresh="prepareModel"
              RefreshCondition="#{empty requestScope.VariableChanged}"/>
<iterator id="SelectDynamicQuery2ViewObjIterator"
              Binds="SelectDynamicQuery2ViewObj" RangeSize="-1"
              DataControl="DMSApplicationModule1DataControl"/>I now have a problem whereby everytime I change the value of the static LOV, multiple HTML components for the same ADF component are being generated (the LOVs are refreshed via PPR). The surprising thing is that this duplicating behaviour applies to all ADF components listed after the first dynamic LOV in the *.jspx source. For example, I have a <af:outputText="Test Text"/> component created after the first dynamic LOV. Each time the value in the static LOV changes, a duplicate HTML component is created. This also applies to the 'related' second dynamic LOV which is bound to a af:selectOneChoice component - multiple dropdown lists are created. I've checked with the browser's Page Source and there are actually multiple html components being generated with their own unique ADF-generated IDs. I've tried all different options for the Referesh and RefreshCondition attibutes in the second invokeAction element but nothing seems to eliminate this issue.
Any suggestions about how I might create multiple dependent LOVs from the same bind variable that get refreshed when the selected value changes would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
George

Hi all,
Just updating the thread on how I've overcome this issue. As it stood the manner in which I was trying to solve my use case, as described above, was creating an absolute mess. Then with a blank sheet of paper I quickly realised that a much simpler solution would be to create a whole series of master-detail VOs and build my components around them. Thankfully I haven't had any issues going down this path as yet.
Cheers

Is it possible to call a java function from plsql?

I have a plsql script which loads data in to a table. One of the fields is a notes field. I would like to use advance offerings of java to manipulate the data before inserting. Is there away I can pass the data to a java function and have it return the manipulated data?
Thanks
Aaron

You can use java stored procedure to call java function from plsql.
1. Create a java class with a static function(which will be called from plsql).
2. Compile and load the class into database using LOADJAVA command.
3. Create a wrapper stored procedure or function in plsql which calls the above java function.
4. Access this plsql procedure like normal database procedure. This will invoke underlying java function in which you can do all the processing and return result.
Refer this url for help on implementing above steps :

Bug in Static LOV definition in tabular form?

I have always defined static LOVs as follows
STATIC:Yes;Y,No;N
but now with V4.0+ the select list at runtime appears as follows:
STATIC:Yes
No
Suddenly the literal "STATIC" is appearing in the first display field.
If I omit the word "STATIC:" from the definition, it seems to work fine. Was this an intentional change in the definition of static LOVs? If so, you then the developers need to update the help text for LOVs.

Modify dynamically Static LOV and System Tables

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to dynamically modify a Static LOV using a system table. All suggestions greatly appreciated!
Sharon

Hello,
I am converting a program from the old HTML-DB. The original program dynamically manipulated a static LOV using a system table. I am trying to do the same thing. If it is possible to dynamically change a static LOV I would like to know how. If there is no way in APEX, I will create a table and dynamically change the table. Thank you for your suggestions.
