Select List based on in-line query

Hello everyone, im having a problem creating a select list with the following query:
select result.A d, result.B r
from dual,
(select RMF.nome A, RMF.chapa B
from
medfa_marco_has_colaborador MC,
medfa_projeto_has_colaborador MP,
rm_funcionario RMF
where
MC.mar_id = :P3_SELECT_MARCO and
MC.pro_col_id = MP.pro_col_id and
MP.chapa = RM.chapa) result
but i keep getting the
"LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query."
Thnx in advance.
E.R

Okay, first off - does this work in SQL Workshop?
Have you got a semi-colon at the end of the query (you shouldn't have)?
Also when posting code put {noformat}{noformat} before and after your code to preserve formatting and spacing.
Cheers

Creating a dynamic Selection List based on a View Object

Hello,
I'm new to JDeveloper and I would like to create a JSP Page with dynamic Selection List based on a runtime query or based on a view object (BC4J). The selection made by an user should serve another dynamic query with the necessary parameters that I built using createViewObjectFromQueryStmt(). By now I tried this using the InputSelectLOV from the Component Palette in JDeveloper. But without success. By the way: the selection list is not very large (5 values), so it's not necessary to have a form finding the desired value.
Maybe someone had experience about creating this already. Please give me a tip or a little example.
Thanks.

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

Select List (based on LOV) query problem

Hello experts! I have a small problem here, which I can't seem to overcome.
I have a page item (select list based on LOV), which is based on a query. The query returns all potential employees of a department that are responsible for a certain duty. So far so good!
The problem is that there are two departments, which should not only see there own employees but also the name of the employee that has carried out a certain task. However, due to my query, the name of that person is not displayed - only the pk is returned.
Do you have a recommendation how I display all employees of a specific department and have additional values translated as well?
My query is as follows: select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter where cnt_bearbeiter in (SELECT
CNT_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK FROM TBL_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK) union select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter where int_behoerde in (SELECT
CNT_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK FROM TBL_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK where STR_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK = lower (:app_user)) whereas :app_user holds the information of the department.
Any hint is appreciated!
Many thanks,
Seb

Okay, I just had the right idea and it's working well! Sorry for posting!
I return the name of the employee that has edited a dataset and simply add all others of the logged on department! Really easy! Should have thought of that before posting! ;-(
The correct code is select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter a, vt_tbl_punktdaten b where a.cnt_bearbeiter = b.int_bearbeiter and
inv_pt_id_sub = :P4_PTIDS
union select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter where int_behoerde in (SELECT
CNT_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK FROM TBL_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK where STR_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK = lower (:app_user))Bye,

Select list based on LOV - and allowing new values

Hi All,
I have a page that has a select list based on a dynamic list of values. I wanted to test out how the system was working, so I truncated all of my tables, and now my select list is blank (which makes sense). The problem is that I can't type anything into the select list. How can I make it so that if there isn't a value returned from the query that populates the LOV, I can just type one in? This also goes further in that if the value I wanted isn't already in the db, how does the user add in another value?
Thanks in advance,
Corey

Hello,
Well as you now know HTML based select lists don't work like that, that widget is called a combo box and there will be built in combo boxes in APEX 3.0, it's a fairly complex dhtml widget.
What you might want to do is provide a text item next to your select box and an Add New Value Option in your select list.

Order in a Select List based in a LOV is wrong

I have a select list based upon a LOV SQL Query.
Values in table are:
FIELD
001
002
003
AAA
when I make query in SQL Workshop:
select FIELD from TABLE order by FIELD;
I get
001
002
003
AAA
But when I make a similar query in LOV the result is in the select list
AAA
001
002
003
Someone knows what is happening?
Thank
Ander

It looks like your application is running a different sort / NLS preference then is the SQL workshop. Is there a chance your application identifies a language that sorts differently then default APEX. I am just guessing but it could explain this behavior.OK, I think something like this is happening because my Oracle instance have SPANISH like a NLS_LANG parameter, but why is different result between sql Workshop and LOV query, I have installed english and spanish languages in my apex instance, I get the same problem in both cases.
Other curious think is that my min and max values are OK,
for example
BETWEEN: <select list 1> AND <select list 2>
default value for <select list 1> is
DECLARE
exitvalue varchar2(10);
BEGIN
select min(FIELD) into exitvalue
from TABLE
return (exitvalue);
END;
I get 001
default value for <select list 2> is
DECLARE
exitvalue varchar2(10);
BEGIN
select max(FIELD) into exitvalue
from TABLE
return (exitvalue);
END;
I get AAA
But select list are ordered like
AAA
001
002
003
I have based select list in a lot of different sql ways
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY FIELD
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY 1
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY FIELD ASC
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY 1 ASC
Other extraneous think is that I use DESC order I get
003
002
001
AAA
Thanks

Populate a select list based on sql query

I need to populate a select list using an sql query based on the value value I get from the previous page sent using link . How can I achieve this behaviour ?

How-To populate SELECT LIST default value from SQL Query

OK, I've done my homework, and did not find my answer in the Forum, so here it is.
I have a Page that displays fields from a SQL Query. The Page also has below that radiogroups, checkboxes, and Select Lists to allow the user to change values in the fields that are displayed at the top of the Region. I am able to pre-populate the radiogroups and checkboxes by performing a SELECT in the 'Source value or expression' of the Source area of the Page Item.
However, I am unable to do the same for the Select List fields. Their default value ends up being the first value in the LOV ('-- None --' for NULL values). Source Used: Only when current value in session state is null. Source Type: SQL Query. Also, when I first go into the Page when running it, and check the Session State values, they are all null, so I don't understand why the field is not populated by the SQL Query statement as the radiogroups and checkboxes are.
Any suggestions??? I've tried all sorts of combinations.

Thank you for the suggestion.
I had considered that, but cannot do so, because we are using Oracle Application Express more for development than for data containment.
We have all our data in an Oracle 10.g DB which is separate from the OAEX server, and the OAEX app will reference that data via VIEWs and DB LINKs. We are doing so primarily as an added data security layer, where the data is housed separate from the app, in case the Web site is ever compromised. The data that can be viewed is restricted to a subset of the actual data that is available.
Since the data is on a separate server, (I assume) we will not be able to set the source type to Database column, because (I asume) that is dependent upon the data being housed by the OAEX server.
That still leaves me with having to populate the field with a SELECT statement from the Oracle DB. This unfortuneately is almost a show-stopper for me because of down-stream processing data requirements. Have not been able to come up with contingencies yet.

3 buttons and 2 select lists in a single line

Hi,
I have an application which has 3 region buttons ( say, b_1, b_2, b_3) and 2 selects lists (say, sl_1, sl_2). I want to display all the five buttons and items in a single line in the following order:
b_1 b_2 sl_1 b_3 sl_2
I have set Begin on new line = no
and Begin on new field = no, for both the two select lists.
But it does not seem to work.
Do anyone have any idea, how to sort out this issue?
A quick reply would really be appreciated.

Hi Vikas,
Please have a look into the application at
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=34363:1:6206621111100168:::::
I have created two select lists P1_X and P1_Y. These items are hidden on page load event. When the associated button is clicked the list should appear on the page.
Written the following code in 'Pre element text' for each of the items:
P1_X :: <input type="button" value="X" onclick="f_X();" class="t17Button" />
P1_Y:: <input type="button" value="Y" onclick="f_Y();" class="t17Button" />
Where, f_X() and f_Y() are displaying the select lists.
As you can see, the select lists are appearing just below the html buttons, which I want side by side with the buttons.
Could you please figure out the issue?
If you want I can share my login details.

How to populate 'Select List' based on Radiogroup selection?

Hi,
I've a Radiogroup and on the selection of any of its item, I've to populate a 'Select List' from DB, what is the best way to do this?
I'm on APEX 2.1.0.00.39, and the Radiogroup & Select List are part of a Form Region.
To be honest, I don't even know whether to use Radiogroup with submit or redirect :-)
Thanks for the help,
-Hozy

Hi,
I have never worked on ver 2 of APEX so i dont know wheter these functionality will work or not..
Option 1)
1) Make the Radiogroup as Radiogroup(with submit)
2) Create a select list with query something similar to
select display_value d , return_value r from myTable where someColumn = :P1_MY_RADIO_BUTTON;
Option 2) Use AJAX.. htmldb_Get()

Select list based on color

Hi there
I need to create a static select list in a tabular form with the following values: Red, Amber, Green.
However, instead of the color names, the user wants to see the actual colors in the the select list (changing background color for each option), so it is easy to spot the problematic ones (Red). Is this possible to be done using Apex 3?
Thanks
Luis

Luis et al.
Thanks for posting code to this forum, it has been a great help. I must admit that I know nothing about javascript (close enough to nothing) but through the great posts here I have been able to get the first part working and my list values change color when the page loads. However, when I use the select list I don't know how to implement the code Luis posted to change the background color in the select lists. Any further direction would be a great help.
I have the example page here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=37008:18
and this is the code I used so far in the HTML HEADER on the page:
<script type="text/javascript">
function setAll()
obj=document.forms[0];
len=obj.elements.length;
for (i=0;i<len;i++){
if (obj.elements.name=="f04")
setColor(obj.elements[i]); }
function setColor(sel)
var obj=sel;
if (obj.value=='GREEN')
obj.style.backgroundColor= "green";
if (obj.value=='YELLOW')
obj.style.backgroundColor= "yellow";
if (obj.value=='RED')
obj.style.backgroundColor= "red";
if (obj.value=='WHITE')
obj.style.backgroundColor= "white";
</script>
Thanks again,
Dave

Dynamic values of a select list based on a column

Is there an easy way to build the values of a select list from a column that contains 'Red,Green,Blue" where Red, Green, Blue will be the values of the select list?

Bob,
Next time you could try this for a one row table:
WITH DATA AS
     (SELECT     SUBSTR (txt
                        , INSTR (txt, ',', 1, LEVEL) + 1
                        ,   INSTR (txt, ',', 1, LEVEL + 1)
                          - INSTR (txt, ',', 1, LEVEL)
                          - 1
                        ) AS token
      FROM       (SELECT ',' || YOUR_COLUMN || ',' txt FROM YOUR_TABLE)
      CONNECT BY LEVEL <=
                      LENGTH (txt)
                    - LENGTH (REPLACE (txt, ',', ''))
                    + 1)
SELECT *
FROM   DATAOr use this if your comma separated values are in more than one row:

Select List based on other select List

Hi
I have 2 select lists when a selection is made in one I want the second list to be limited but when nothing is selected in the first list I want the second list to display all. Apolgies if this is really a plsql thing .
Heres what I have so far
if :P52_ORGNAME is null
then
return 'select unique surname d,id r from com_contact';
else
return 'select unique forename||surname d,id r from com_contact where orgname = :P52_ORGNAME order by id';
end if;
the else is fine but I cant get the null condition to work.
:P52_ORGNAME is a select list where show null is yes and there is no NULL value
thanks in advance
Kirk

Hi,
you can try 2 things.
1)try putting a null display value and keep null return value as blank. dont put any value in the default value also,and see if this works,
2)else try putting a null return value(like BLANK) and check for that value in the condition insted of null. i.e
if :P52_ORGNAME ='BLANK'
then
return 'select unique surname d,id r from com_contact';
else
return 'select unique forename||surname d,id r from com_contact where orgname = :P52_ORGNAME order by id';
end if;
Hope it works..

How to do dependent select list based on parent select list

Hello... I have the following bit of code...
*parent select
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(1,null,'select program_desc_eng, program_id from myfps_programs')
* child select using parent value
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(2,null,'select sub_pgm_desc_eng, sub_program_id from myfps_sub_programs where program_id = <VALUE FROM ABOVE?>')
I know this is easily done using the select list form items and such but I need to use the htmldb_item function. On screen when a user selects value from the parent select list, I want the child select list to use the value of the parent as a parameter into its own select list. How can I reference the parent? (ie can I use htmldb_application.g_f01(1) or something of this nature?) I realize I may need a bit of javascript to have it work correctly but I'm just wondering if its possible?

This is not a trivial task.
