Select a Dynamic Query

Hello, I have a table with a serie of selects storage into a column, they are VARCHAR2 type and I have a package that retunrs in a function the result of any of this querys, but I want to select them in the SQL command line like
SQL> Select * from (PKG.Function(Cod) )
The result of the function is a query but in VARCHAR2.
That's one, the another is, if there is not a way to do that, I can create a Function that returns a Cursor and them select it in the SQL command line like before.
I now that I can do this with a Function call TABLE, but the problem is that I must create a object over the Data Base, It have the specification of the columns returned by the CURSOR. The problem is that I can't create that object every time I insert a new query and if any of the others querys changes then I must change the object I somenthing more Dynamic. Thank you for your answers.

Hello, Alex...sorry I didn't answer before.
1) I saw your suggestion but I need it in a Select setence.
2) Well I was looking something like that, not exactly a Ref Cursor but something symilar.
3) I have a table, and in this table I have differents selects, they are I kind of "services" used for reportes, etc., recently I need to do another query but using one of this queries in my "From" sentece, but I don't want to rewrite the query because if someone modify that query I need to modify mine too, so I was thinking may be Oracle have something that can execute that query, convert it into table and then used in my select. I now that a can use the function "TABLE", but I'll like something more dynamic, not just only for my select, for any of those selects or new ones.
Thank you for your answer Alex and if you have any idea I appreciate.

Dynamic query table for report based on LOV selected

Hi,
Need some suggestion and guidance how to dynamically query table via lov for report .
Scenario:
Table, TABLE_LIST, has tablename (table in DB) and filter (for where clause) column. The TABLENAME_LOVE is derived from table TABLE_LIST.
SELECT TABLENAME D, TABLENAME R FROM TABLE_LIST
In Page 2,a page select list item,P2_TABLENAME to use TABLENAME_LOV
All data in tables in the table_list have identical structure (columns, triggers, primary key, and so on).
I want to have the report region query from the table based on selected LOV.
Example,
Tablename Filter
TB1
CD2 ACTIVE='Y'
When select TB1, the report regin will query based on TB1.
When select CD2, the report regin will query based on CD2 WHERE ACTIVE='Y'
Question:
How can I query based on &P2_TABLENAME. WHERE &P2_FILTER.
Like
select col1, col2 from &P2_TABLENAME WHERE &P2FILTER
Greatly appreciate any suggestion and some guidance.

Hi,
You should always post your Apex version, DB version and other information as suggested in the FAQ.
And the moment you talk report you should state whether it is IR or Classic.
As for your query, have you explored the Report type "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)" ?
That might be a good fit for what you are trying to achieve.

Build dynamic query depending upon selection of table and columns

Hi ,
I want your views on following requirement :
we r doing generic export to excel functionality .
1.User will select multiple tables and according to tables ,columns on that table will select
2.There can be multiple table
3.depending upon column and table selection , we have to build dynamic query and execute .
Please let me know is it possible .If yes then please tell me how to do above requirement.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Identifiers cannot be used as bind variables, query are parsed
before evaluate bind variables. Identifiers like table name.
For excel you can use some like this:
SET MARKUP HTML ON ENTMAP ON SPOOL ON PREFORMAT OFF
SPOOL test_xls.xls
SELECT colum1||chr(9)||columN FROM tableName;
or CSV:
SELECT colum1|| ',' ||columN FROM tableName;
SPOOL OFF
SET MARKUP HTML OFF ENTMAP OFF SPOOL OFF PREFORMAT ON
For construct the query i suggest to read "Dynamic SQL Statements":

How to find table name(s) in a dynamic query

In one of our (9iAS PORTAL)applications, any user can able to run their query statment and get output. All queries will be executed as dynamic SQL thru' a common shema/user who has 'SELECT' privilege on all tables but all users don't have this privilege on all tables. Now, before executing any query I need to find out what are the table name(s) used in this query to check the privilege for the respective user. How do I extract all table names being used in a dynamic query?.
Thanks
-Krishnamurthy

I guess that his users log in to application first, then application uses one account to log in to database, so application are not direct database user since all users share the same account to database. If so, when a user lgins in, you may write it down from application to a database audit table, and you need to write down the dynamic query to the database audit table too, then you may query that audit table to find out. up to here, it looks that your application has to do more to assign what role to a user running the application, since database does not know what user is assessing it.

Single quote in dynamic query

Hi all;
Can u please help me on the following dynamic query code ? I know I am missing the single quote around 2 dates but could not figure out where to put it ! I have tried putting 2 or 3 quotes around 2 bind vars but to no avail.
Want to create a dynamic query to simulate the the following:
select
EMPNO,ENAME,JOB,MGR,HIREDATE from emp where HIREDATE >= to_date('01/01/1981','MM/DD/YYYY') and HIREDATE <= to_date('12/31/1982','MM/DD/YYYY');
dynamic code:
declare
v_q varchar2(4000);
begin
v_q :='select EMPNO,ENAME,JOB,MGR,HIREDATE from emp ';
V_q := V_Q
|| 'where HIREDATE >= '
|| 'to_date(' || :P_DATE1 || ',' ||'''MM/DD/YYYY''' || ' )'
|| 'and HIREDATE <= '
|| 'to_date(' || :P_DATE2 || ',' ||'''MM/DD/YYYY''' || ' )';
-- end the sql
v_q := v_q ||';';
dbms_output.put_line ('V_Q is ' || V_Q);

Dynamic Query to display a page of records at a time

I need some help creating procedure with a dynamic query that will query a table and pass out a certain number of records (like records 101 - 200 of 20,000). This procedure will receive the column names, table name, where clause, page number and number of records per page. It will then pass back the requested records to be displayed on a PHP page.
Pseudo Code:
Select Dynamic_Columns, ROWNUM
Into Dynamic_Pl_Sql_Table
From Dynamic_Table
Where Dynamic_Where_Clause
Total_Records_Out := Dynamic_PL_Sql_Table.Count
Modulus := Mod(Total_Records_Out, Total_Records_Per_Page_In)
Total_Pages_Out := (Total_Records_Out - Modulus) / Total_Records_Per_Page_In
If Modulus > 0 Then
Total_Pages_Out + 1
End If
Row_Start = Page_Number_In * Total_Records_Per_Page_In
Row_End = Row_Start + Total_Records_Per_Page_In
Results_Out = Dynamic_Pl_Sql_Table(Row_Start ... Row_End)
Any help with this will be appreciated!

Maybe this will help you
1) If the Serial is 0 then page break
2) total_rows gives you total number of rows selected.
3) you can apply where clause to this and it will give you appropriate records.
select empno, ename, sal,
mod(row_number() over (order by null),5) serial,
count(*) over () tot_rows from emp ed

How to create an LOV based on a dynamic query

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to query a dynamic query for LOV. On my base page I have a dropdown-box (that will show the table names for searching) and is dynamically populated based on users access e.g. if user A logs in he may see 5 values (these values are basically table names) in a drop down if user B logs in he may see 10 values. I also have two input fields one field a user can enter value and the other field is read only and a torch icon for LOV so the user can search and select values that are populated in the input fields on the base page.
How can I have my LOV that takes in a value selected in the dropdown and anyvalue entered in one of the input fields and search in the table selected in the dropdown box.
Basically my LOV should do a search on the table and some search value passed when clicking on the torch icon. So a user can select any table-name in the drop down and my LOV should do a search only on the selected table. Once on the LOV Popup want to have a search field there but it only searched on the table selected in the dropdown on the based page. And the selected value on the LOV Popup page gets populated in fields on the base page.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Dynamic Query Doubt

Hi,
I need to write a Dynamic Query to get the data from the table by using the Input date parameters.
LIke,
SELECT* from table where date_start between to_date('12-14-2004','mm-dd-yyyy') AND
to_date('12-15-2005','mm-dd-yyyy');
How can i write the above query in dynamic sql as i will get the two dates as input in my procedure
Help me in this

Or more preferably use bind variables with the
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE as, if the query will be called
many times, the bind variables will prevent hard
parsing of the statement each time (i.e. it will be
quicker to execute).blushadow,
Yes, the execute immediate using bind variables is better/faster than not using bind variables, but your first example outperforms your second one. This is due to the fact that execute immediate really closes all cursors, and in your first example the cursors are kept open (yes, even though you issue a CLOSE cur_test) in the PL/SQL cursor cache.

Question on Dynamic Query Data Source and Form Folders in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi there -
I have one interesting requirement in Oracle Forms.
This is what I wanted to do.
1. Have a LOV and Go button on Form.
2. From LOV, I will select a pre-defined custom table and click Go.
3. Based on the selected custom table, I have to populate the Block (Tabular Format).
4. User should be able to do update, delete, insert on this block.
5. User should be able to use the Oracle Form folders functionality (select only necessary column and save views etc. Std folder functionality).
6. If user selects a different custom table name in the LOV on top, I need to refresh the data from the block based on this new table. Remaining functionality should be as it is (steps 3 to 5).
You can see here, I am going to have dynamic query data source (Table Name as well as column mapping) on the block. I do not know before hand how many columns the user selected table has!
This is what I have planned for this so far but I have some major questions before I can move on with this design:
1. I am going to create a table structure with fixed number of column in form (40 cols assuming that the custom table will not have more that 40 cols). (Kind of limitation but it's okay as of now).
2. Dynamically populate the block based on the table name selected by the user from LOV. Dynamically change the table column names based on the table selected etc.
3. Perform insert, update, delete using PL/SQL package.
So far it looks okay.
Now my real question is,
Can user still be able to user "Folders" functionality here? I have never done this kind of development before and I doubt the dynamic column naming, dynamic column data source will really work for "folders"!
Also, I am not really sure whether user will be able to save these "folder" queries?
Okay so form experts, can you ppl suggest me if this is really going to work? Are there any better ways to do this?
Initially I tried to do this in OA Framework but I got stuck at because as per OAF developer guide "I cannot user OAF personalization for dynamic items, regions etc".
For more info on that thread see this link...
Re: setUserCustomizable issue!
Thanks in advance for the help.

Any suggestion anyone?

Dynamic Query in Report Builder

HI
I have a doubt:
I need to receive a parameter in my report and I need this parameter in the query, that means, I need to create a dynamic query depending on the value that I receive in one of the parameters that has my report.
I tried to use the resource of Searching by Reference Cursor tool, it is a blue circle in the Data Model View of Report Builder.
When I click this tool, I have an initial code, It is:
function QR_1RefCurDS return <RefCurType> is
begin
end;
In PL/SQL I tried to create to test and to play, this code:
Note: If you want to try only to test, it is simple and works:
create or replace package TEST_REFCURTYPE as
type refcurtype is ref cursor;
function TEST_REFCURTYPE (P_DATE_TO nvarchar2) return refcurtype;
end;
create or replace package body TEST_REFCURTYPE as
function TEST_REFCURTYPE (P_DATE_TO nvarchar2)
return refcurtype is
refcur refcurtype;
mysql varchar(1000);
begin
If P_DATE_TO is not null then
mysql := 'select '''|| P_DATE_TO ||''' from dual';
else
mysql := 'select sysdate from dual';
end if;
open refcur for mysql;
return refcur;
end;
end;
The problem is to pass this example of code to the function QR_1RefCurDS, I do not have a place to make reference to the type:
type refcurtype is ref cursor;
I tested the Unit Program in the Report Builder but it did not work, because all the code I try to write and create, for example in the Event BEFORE REPORT, it opens  Funcion( ) …., and I can not make reference to the type refcurtype inside a Function( ).
Would you help me please?
Or there is another way to make a dynamic query in the Report Builder?
Sorry for my English, I am a Brazilian living in Spain.

Hi,
you can use lexical parameters in your queries. Instead of a ":" use in the query before the parameter a "&". Then the parameter stands for a part of the query and not for a value (Bind parameter). In the before report trigger you can set this parameters. They can contain parts of SQL like order or where. Make sure that the default value for this lexical parameters are set to get a valid query.
SELECT ENAME, &p_column as COL2 FROM EMP &p_order
and in the trigger something like
IF :p_which_column = 1 THEN
:p_column := 'SAL'
ELSE

How to enhance Dynamic Query Object TerrSearch (Territory Management)?

Hello Friends,
In the TerrSearch dynamic query object, There are 2 fields Territory_ID and Level_ID. Now i have a requirement to Enhance the Search object using the new field called TERRITORY PATH ID. using which we can search all the entities not only for the terrritory level which we have selected (for example we have assigned the value '01' to LEVEL_ID) but also all the below territory levels of selected territory level.
If we enhance the search object structure CRMST_TMIL_SEARCH (structure of TerrSearch object) using AET to add the Z field called TERRITORY_PATH_ID then which is the suitable BADI where we can add the necessary code to select all the entities based on all the territory levels below the selected territory level.
Please guide me friends how to enhance the TerrSearch object.

Dynamic query with Data Access Layer

I have a program that has a multiselect box (JSP form) to select certifications and then search to see which employee may have them.
I have no issues when searching by only one, but if I select multiple certifications from the multiselect box, it doesn't work. I've tried and tried and I can't seem to figure this out.
Below is the code for returning employees that match what certifications were chosen. Again, it works fine if only 1 was selected. I wish for it to return only the employees that match all selections.
the arguments passed to the DataAccess Layer are an array of certification ID's and the size variable is how many certifications were chosen. The for loop is supposed to dynamically append to the end of the query an extra "AND" sql operator to match up. The 3 tables selected in the query are Employee (a list of employees and ID's), Certificates (a list of possible certificates and their ID's) and Employee_Certificate (a table that matches which employees have which certificates).
What am I doing wrong?
public List certSearch(int cert[], int size) throws Exception{
         // connection instance
         ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
         Connection connection=null;
         PreparedStatement pstatement = null;
         try
                list.clear();
                StringBuffer queryString = new StringBuffer("SELECT * from EMPLOYEE, EMPLOYEE_CERTIFICATE, CERTIFICATE" +
                                     " WHERE employee_certificate.employee_id = employee.employee_id " +
                                     "AND certificate.certificate_id = employee_certificate.certificate_id ");
                for (int incr = 0; incr < size; incr++){
                    queryString.append("AND certificate.certificate_id = " + cert[incr] + " ");
                String query;
                query = queryString.toString();
                // Send query to database and store results.
                Class.forName(Driver);
                //Establish network connection to the db
                connection = (Connection) DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
                pstatement = (PreparedStatement) connection.prepareStatement(query);
                ResultSet rs = pstatement.executeQuery();
                while (rs.next())
                    Employee emp = new Employee();
                    int empID=Integer.parseInt(rs.getString("employee_id"));
                    String first=rs.getString("first_name");
                    String last=rs.getString("last_name");
                    emp.setID(empID);
                    emp.setFirstName(first);
                    emp.setLastName(last);
                    list.add(emp);
           catch(Exception readerr)
                System.err.println("Error reading "+ readerr);
           finally
            try
                // close the connection so it can be returned to the
                // connection pool then return the SubjectCounselor instance
                connection.close();
            catch (SQLException ex)
                   System.err.println("Error reading employee data: " + ex);

You don't get it.
This should work :
public List certSearch(int cert[], int size) throws Exception{
         // connection instance
         ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
         Connection connection=null;
         PreparedStatement pstatement = null;
         try
                list.clear();
                String query = buildQuery(cert);
                // Send query to database and store results.
                Class.forName(Driver);
                //Establish network connection to the db
                connection = (Connection) DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
                pstatement = (PreparedStatement) connection.prepareStatement(query);
                ResultSet rs = pstatement.executeQuery();
                while (rs.next())
                    Employee emp = new Employee();
                    int empID=Integer.parseInt(rs.getString("employee_id"));
                    String first=rs.getString("first_name");
                    String last=rs.getString("last_name");
                    emp.setID(empID);
                    emp.setFirstName(first);
                    emp.setLastName(last);
                    list.add(emp);
           catch(Exception readerr)
                System.err.println("Error reading "+ readerr);
           finally
            try
                // close the connection so it can be returned to the
                // connection pool then return the SubjectCounselor instance
                connection.close();
            catch (SQLException ex)
                   System.err.println("Error reading employee data: " + ex);
            return list;
    // I used the MySQL syntax; if it doesn't work : just enclose the values by single quotes
    private String buildQuery(int[] cert) {
        StringBuffer queryString = new StringBuffer("SELECT * from EMPLOYEE, EMPLOYEE_CERTIFICATE, CERTIFICATE" +
                " WHERE employee_certificate.employee_id = employee.employee_id " +
                "AND certificate.certificate_id = employee_certificate.certificate_id " +
                "AND certificate.certificate_id IN ( ");
        queryString.append(cert[0]);
        for (int i = 1; i < cert.length; i++) {
            queryString.append(" ,");
            queryString.append(cert);
