Report based on plsql table type

Is it possible crete a report (updatable) based on plsql table type?
thank in advance
Franco Galante

Sorry for my cryptic question, i wanted to mean create a report based on a stored procedure
function which return a plsql table type variable.
This idea could give me the chance to work with variable (plsql table) instead of db table.
hope i'm enough clear
thank you again

Mapping of PLSQL table type Date to java

can anyone help me to solve this problem.1. Write a wrapper procedure that converts the table of dates to either number or date and then re-convert the table back into date.
2. Since it's an out param you could create a temp table, insert the contents of the index by array into it and return a cursor.
3. Create a oracle type using CREATE TYPE and then use an array of the type.

Best to use in terms of tuning Global Temporary table or PLSQL Table type

Hi All,
which one is best to use in terms of tuning Global Temporary table or PLSQL table type?
Thanks in Advance.

Deepika

Thus it is important to understand how these work. They are nothing alike.
PL/SQL collections reside in the PGA. Can only be used in SQL via binding. Cannot be indexed. Temp tables on the other hand does not use expensive PGA. Does not need to be bind in SQL. Can be indexed. Etc.
Sure, a (surgical) saw and scalpel are both used on the operating table - but for very different purposes.

How to retrieve values in XML into a plsql table type

Hi
I have an XML doc like below which is a Web Service response message.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<GetOrgInput xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices">
<ProgramName>PgmA-PgmB</ProgramName>
<ItemName>800 ADSL</ItemName>
<Orgs>923</Orgs>
<Orgs>1163</Orgs>
<Orgs>1103</Orgs>
</GetOrgInput>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
From the above doc you could see that i have multiple occurrences of "Orgs" element. Usually i am using the .extract and .getSTringVal() to retrieve the values as below.
l_string_variable := p_response.doc.extract('//'||p_name||'/child::text()',p_namespace).getStringVal();
But in this case if i do that, i am getting value as 92311631103. I need to get them into a table type of number. Pls advice me on how to achieve this.
Thanks

I'm guessing this is a bug that Oracle fixed when 10.2 came out. I can reproduce your lack of results on 10.1.0.4 and as my post above shows, it works correctly on 10.2.0.4.
Here's a modification to the script that shows what is going on as I was debugging this. (It took me a bit to realize the difference as it wasn't what I was expecting)
declare
   p_response_doc XMLTYPE;
   l_new_doc      XMLTYPE;
begin
   p_response_doc := XMLTYPE('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Body>
<GetOrgOutput xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices">
<CompliantOrgs>1163</CompliantOrgs>
<CompliantOrgs>1103</CompliantOrgs>
</GetOrgOutput>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>');
   SELECT p_response_doc.extract('/*/*/*/CompliantOrgs','xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices"')
     INTO l_new_doc
      FROM dual;
   dbms_output.put_line(l_new_doc.getStringVal());
   dbms_output.put_line('before loop');
   FOR r_rec IN (SELECT value(t) val
--   FOR r_rec IN (SELECT extractvalue(value(t)
--      , '/CompliantOrgs'
--      , 'xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices"' ) val
      -- BULK COLLECT INTO l_nm_array
      FROM TABLE(
        XMLSequence(
          p_response_doc.extract('/*/*/*/CompliantOrgs','xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices"')
        ) t
   ) LOOP
      dbms_output.put_line(r_rec.val.getStringVal());
--      dbms_output.put_line(r_rec.val);
   END LOOP;
   dbms_output.put_line('After output');
end;On 10.2.0.4 this produces
<CompliantOrgs xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices">1163</CompliantOrgs>
<CompliantOrgs xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices">1103</CompliantOrgs>
before loop
<CompliantOrgs xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices">1163</CompliantOrgs>
<CompliantOrgs xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices">1103</CompliantOrgs>
After outputOn 10.1.0.4 it produces
<CompliantOrgs xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices">1163</CompliantOrgs>
<Complian tOrgs xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices">1103</CompliantOrgs>
before loop
<CompliantOrgs>1163</CompliantOrgs>
<CompliantOrgs>1103</CompliantOrgs>
After outputAs you can see, Oracle is removing (well technically not adding) the default namespace to the extracted nodes. To compensate, you need to change your loop to look like
   FOR r_rec IN (SELECT extractvalue(value(t)
      , '/CompliantOrgs') val
--      , 'xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices"' ) val
      -- BULK COLLECT INTO l_nm_array
      FROM TABLE(
        XMLSequence(
          p_response_doc.extract('//CompliantOrgs','xmlns="http://www.example.org/ComplianceServices"')
        ) t
   ) LOOPso that extractValue is not expecting any namespaces associated with the nodes.
I would suggest you document this so you will know why things break if you upgrade to 10.2 or later at some point in the future.

     and knumh = ls_konp-knumh.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
select * from A919 into table lt_a919
for all entries in lt_a905
where kappl = lt_a905-kappl
and kschl = lt_905-kschl
and knumh = lt_905-knumh.

Sorting on two reports based on same table

Hi,
I have two reports on the same page, that show rows from a table.
Each table has a different condition, so that there is no overlapping rows.
The problem i have run into, is that i have enabled sort on the columns in both reports - there are instances when there are no rows shown in one of the reports.
when i click on a column name to sort on that column, i get the error
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value
in the report that shows no values. i understand what the error means, but am having some trouble finding a way of solving it.
any help would be much appreciated!

Look here:
Column sort gives "failed to parse SQL query"

Transporting Crystal report based on ECC table

Hi guys
We use CR 2011 over a table in ECC DEV
Is there an option to transport the report to our production system without having to recreate it?
Regards
Shlomi

Hi Shlomi,
Yes, you need to 'set the datasource location' of the report to the Production System.
Go to Database > Set Datasource Location and change the source.
Hope this helps!

Creating variable of type of a PLSQL table type

I have an object defined as
create or replace type emp_rec as object (col1 date, col2 date);
then I defined
create or replace type data_emp_rec is table of emp_rec;
Now I need to define a variable temp_rec which will host data returned of emp_rec structure.
please advise how to define a variable to have data structure similar to that of emp_rec
declare
temp_rec emp_rec(null, null);
or
temp_rec data_emp_rec;
Thx

Report based on fact tables that don't have the same dimensionality

Hi all
I want to combine in the same report different measures from different fact tables that doesn't have the same dimensionality,for example:
measure 1 linked to dimensions : time geography and product
measure 2 linked to dimensions : time and geography
Currenctly when I create a report like:
time----gepgraphy---product------measure 1-----measure 2 I don't have any data for measure2 because it's not linked to the product dimension.
The exact report is year---store name---product area name----- store sales-----number of visitors : the number of vistors doesn't have any relation with the product dimension.
Is there a way to create this kind of report??
Regards

Don't take this the wrong way guys, but I feel compelled to say this before the answers start coming in:
This issue had been discussed already many times. Stijn, John, Kishore etc. have all answered this question for the one or the other user. This forum has a search functionality for a reason. To first look for information and then ask your question. Why wait - potentially - a couple of hours for an answer that's one search away?
Seriously people. It's not like forums magically appeared in 2k7...they've been around for quite a while now and netiquette and common sense with regards to posting should become normal.
Cheers,

Report based on PLSQL returning SQL query

I created function which builds the SQL and returns it as VARCHAR2. For testing purposes I harcoded the primary ID for the query to be based on. I run the function as standalone call to get the generated SQL and to test it. It works fine. The moment I try to use the ID parameter as an argument passed to the function it doesn't work and I get the "No data found" error. Again if I try this function outside of Apex it produces correct SQL syntax and it runs.
The function signature is really simple:
FUNCTION abc(i_id NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
l_id NUMBER;
BEGIN
-- this works:
-- l_id := 300;
-- this doesn't work:
l_id := i_id;
... more code follows. It uses the l_id while building the query.
I also tried to make it an anonymous block and place it directly in Apex region. Again I face the same problem. I modified this function slightly to reference the page attribute instead of accepting parameter:
DECLARE
l_id NUMBER;
BEGIN
-- this works:
-- l_id := 300;
-- this doesn't work:
l_id := :P65_ID;

Have you verified that i_id and P65_ID have a value when the procedure runs? Perhaps have something along the lines of "if i_id is null then return 'select <dummy data> from dual' else [build real query here]"...?

Report based on Object Types

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 9i & Developer 6i on Windows platform in client/server environment. I created a report based on an Object Type defined in the Database. I am facing two problems in that:
1. Its not picking up Date columns properly. When I run the report, I receive error: "REP-0612: Invalid Date Mask.
ORA-01801: date format is too long for internal buffer.".
When I checked, I noticed that all the date columns in my Data Model, which are coming from Object Type are of Width 9 only. I want to ask how is it so, & how can I sort it out. I have not specified any format model for dates neither in Object Type nor in Report anywhere.
2. Another thing is, after reopening the report, in the report builder, i mean closing & then opening the .rdf file, when I try to run the report, I receive following error: "REP-0499: Column 'Column_Name' selected by the query is incompatible with report defination". This column is one of the columns/attributes of the object type on which my report is based. Though, nothing has been changed in the object type or any other database object, it gives this error, everytime, I try to run the report, after closing it(after proper saving) & opening it again. Can anyone help me by telling, why is it happening like this.
Thanks in Advance,
Inderjeet Singh

Thanks for the quick reply InoL,
I'm not familiar with breakOrder, however when I review the code behind the report, I see nothing but:
breakOrder="none" in several lines. There is no other value other than "none" for this setting. Here's an excerpt:
"Group Name" breakOrder="none".
What exactly does breakOrder control and what other values are possible?
As far as pageProtect goes, there are two entries that show:
<generalLayout pageProtect="yes" verticalElasticity="variable"/>
Is it worth a shot to change both to "no" to see what happens?
Thanks,
Dave

Report from PL/SQL Table

Thanks for answer to my first question. Now I have another problem.
Is there any way to print a report based on virtual table, which is created during some Pl/SQL procedure and can't be easily decribed by Select statement

SELECT FROM PL/SQL TABLE IN ORACLE REPORTS 6I
The requirement is to populate a table and then select from that table in a report. The typical solution is to
populate a database table, but for situations where that is undesirable there is a way to select from a PL/SQL
table.
For example - for each employee we want to populate a PL/SQL table and then select from that table.
I used the following records in the emp table:
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(123,'Bob','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(321,'Sue','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(234,'Mary','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(623,'Joe','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(621,'Jim','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(634,'Jane','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(723,'Fred','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(721,'Meg','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(734,'Jill','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
=============================================================================================
Step 1: Create a package spec in the report:
PACKAGE pkg_table IS
TYPE t_rec IS RECORD (
field1 NUMBER(6),
field2 VARCHAR2(30));
TYPE t_tab IS TABLE OF t_rec INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
gv_tab t_tab;
FUNCTION populate (
p_empno NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER;
END;
Step 2: Create the package body:
PACKAGE BODY pkg_table IS
FUNCTION populate (
p_empno NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
     gv_tab.DELETE;
     -- populate table as required - for demo purposes put in anything
     FOR lv_ind IN 1..MOD(p_empno,20) LOOP
          gv_tab(lv_ind).field1 := lv_ind;
          gv_tab(lv_ind).field2 := 'row '||TO_CHAR(lv_ind)||' for emp '||TO_CHAR(p_empno);
     END LOOP;
     RETURN gv_tab.COUNT;
END populate;
END;
Step 3: Create the master query:
SELECT empno,
ename
FROM emp
Step 4: Add a formula column CF_populate to the master query that does:
function CF_populateFormula return Number is
-- for each emp fetched this formula will repopulate the PL/SQL table
-- and return the number of records in the table
begin
return pkg_table.populate(:empno);
end;
Step 5: Create the detail query:
-- we need to join this to the master and then ensure that for each
-- empno there are as many records fetched as there will be
-- records in the PL/SQL table
SELECT e1.empno,rownum
FROM emp e1, emp e2, emp e3
WHERE rownum <= :CF_populate
Step 6: Add formula columns to the detail query for each of the fields in the
PL/SQL table we want to display:
CF_Field1:
function CF_field1Formula return Number is
begin
return pkg_table.gv_tab(:rownum).field1;
end;
CF_Field2:
function CF_field2Formula return Varchar2 is
begin
return pkg_table.gv_tab(:rownum).field2;
end;
Step 7: Create the repeating frame and layout items to display the formula columns.
=============================================================================================
The same technique can be used to populate a master query. In a report level formula column
CF_Populate populate the PL/SQL table as required. In the master query we just need the rownum:
SELECT rownum
FROM emp, emp, emp
WHERE rownum <= :CF_Populate
Add the formula columns to display Field1 and Field2.

Crystal Report linked to a table with filter attached

I have a Crystal Report based on 2 tables and I want it to display every incident in the incident table and to pull the truckID of the
first truck on the scene from the truck table . So the finished product should look like this…
IncidentID IncidentNum ResponseTime First Arriving Truck Disctict
1x44452 1258ab55 5:32 B8 2
*The first arriving truck is the truck in the Truck Table with the same IncidentID and the earliest ArrivalTime. There will be multiple trucks for each incident but I want it to only show the one that arrived first (ArrivalTime). So one line per incidentID.
Incident Table
IncidentID
IncidentNum
ResponseTime
District
Truck Table (Will contain many trucks for one incident with the following info
Truckkey
IncidentID (Link to Incident Table)
ArrivalTime
TruckID
I figure I probably need to build a formula with the min function or perhaps an OnCommand – I’m just not sure.
The biggest issue is the overall report has 4 filter settings. They can select a date range, a location, an incident type and a range for the response time. So I do this with the Select Expert
I can get all of that to work except I cannot figure out how to get it to pull the First Arriving Truck without duplicating the incident
line. Also, if there is a Truck with an ArrivalTime of Null I want it to ignore that Truck Table record.
Can anyone help???

Hi Debbie,,
You may try this:
1) Go to the Group Expert > Create a Group on the 'Incident ID' field from the Incident Table
2) Insert a summary on the 'Arrival Time' field and place the field on the Group Footer
3) Move all the fields from the Details section to the Group Footer
4) Go to the Group Selection Formula (Report > Selection Formulas > Group) and use this code:
{Truck.ArrivalTime} = Minimum({Truck.ArrivalTime}, {Incident ID})
5) Suppress the Details Section
