Showing column value as counter in sql query - report

I created a classic report with search bar based on an sql query. I would like to show the "notes" column in this query using some sort of counter and as a hyperlink to another section on the page (same idea as footnotes in a book). So if I have 10 rows and 5 have "notes". I should show 1,2,3,4,5 in the notes column for those rows and the number gets displayed as a link to another section listing the notes 1 through 5.
I was thinking of creating a hidden page item as the counter with value of 0 and then in my query doing counter+1 but i'm not sure how to do this or if i can do that...
If anyone can help or have any other ideas I would really appreciate it!!
Thanks,
Hindy

Well, I'm doing this in VB and the subquery is dynamic. I'm passing an ADO recordset to a routine that sets up a listview to display the results. The number of columns selected can vary. My idea was to size the columns appropriately based on the size of the data. Within the display routine I could:
sql = "SELECT "
for i = 0 to oRS.Fields.Count - 1
sql = sql & "MAX(LENGTH(" & i & ")), "
next 'i
sql = sql & "FROM (" & oRS.Source & ")"

Setting a Default Value in SQL Query Report

Hello:
We are using a SQL Query Report to provide a mass update to a table. We are using the apex.collection and having it display a number of records in a SQL Query Report for mass update. We have 14 columns in the report, for which the first 11 are populated via the collection. The remaining 3 are open for input but the individual making the updates. We've were able to provide a default value for 2 of the remaining 3 columns using a named LOV's - however the fourth column we would like to default a sysdate - but we are not successful.
We've attempted many things but none seem to work, including adding that column to the collection and assigning it a default sysdate value. We've also tried changing the settings in the report attributes --> Tabular Form Elements by setting the Display as to: Datepicker, Default type to PL/SQL Expression and setting the default to sysdate. We've also tried caputuring a date on the previous page and loading it onto the report page and trying to default the date column to a page item default.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks
FYI - we are using version 3.2

use as default
to_char(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyy') where the format is your application or item date format

friends i have seen where the error is coming but i am unable to trace out how to increase the size of lov which i have made.
when i am taking display as select list(named lov) it is throwing me the error "ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small" but if i am taking display as "popup lov(named lov)" under tablular form element under one of the column in the report, it is working properly. but not shwoing the report the way we want it to show. For that reason i want to increase the size of the love which i have made.

How do you select a clob column in an SQL query report?

I must be missing something fundamental as there is practically no help on this on the forum.
All I want to do is ...
select numcol,aclob_col from table
in an SQL Query report.
Sounds easy??? I get no data appearing in the clob column. Doesn't work in SQL Workshop either. What's the catch??
regards
Paul P

Paul,
It works when I try it. What version of Application Express, what is the table DDL, the exact query, and how much data is in the clob columns?

SQL Query report region that only queries on first load

Hello all,
Is there any way in which you can prevent a SQL Query report region from quering data after every refresh?
I would like to make a report that queries on the first load, but then I would like to change the individual values, and reload to show the change, but every time I reload the page the columns are queried and the original values are displayed once again...
any ideas?

Chet,
I created a header process to create the HTMLDB_COLLECTION. It is something like:
HTMLDB_COLLECTION.CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY(
p_collection_name => 'Course_Data',
p_query => 'SELECT DISTINCT COURSE_ID, HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKBOX(14,COURSE_ID) as "checker", TITLE, SUBJECT, COURSE_NUMB, SECTION, ENROLLED, null as "temp_term", null as "temp_title", null as "temp_crse_id", null as "temp_subj", null as "temp_crse_numb", null as "temp_sect", FROM DB_TBL_A, DB_TBL_B, DB_TBL_C, DB_TBL_D, DB_TBL_E, DB_TBL_F WHERE ...');
The names were changed, for obvious reasons.
I then created an SQL Report Region to see if it would work. The SQL is:
SELECT c001, c002, c003
FROM htmldb_collections
WHERE collection_name = 'COURSE_DATA'
When I run the page it says:
ORA-20104: create_collection_from_query Error:ORA-20104: create_collection_from_query ExecErr:ORA-01008: not all variables bound
Any idea why this is happening?
I'm new to HTMLDB_COLLECTIONS, so I may be doing something wrong

SQL Query Report (Customize link)

I have an SQL query report with bind variables so that users can choose conditions for the query. If I don't have any conditions, the report is empty. How do I get it to display all the records. I tried typing * but it didn't work.
Basically I want it to act like the Query Wizard's Customize feature. The report give me all the records. I can query one field or all the fields.
In the SQL report's Customize feature, I have to enter a value for all the bind variables I have. What if I just want to query one field. What do I put in the others to indicate that I want all. I hope this makes some sort of sense and that someone out there knows what I'm blabbing about.

Hi,
I h've same type of requirement in most of my reports in the application and I h've solved this in the sql of the report itself. Let's see a example report from the table scott.emp with a sql like
Select EMPNO,
ENAME,
JOB,
MGR,
HIREDATE,
SAL,
DEPTNO
From scott.emp
Where EMPNO = nvl(:v_empno,EMPNO)
and DEPTNO = nvl(:v_deptno,DEPTNO)
where :v_empno and :v_deptno are bind variables to this report and if there is no arguements passed to these arguements all the records will be retrieved from the table ..likeley if value for any one of these arguements is passed then this sql will return only those records which meet that condition.
Hope this helps

Fail to create SQL query report because of ORA-00923

Hi expert,
I would like to SQL query report using the following query:
select min(identified_date) first_identified,
max(actual_COMPLETE) last_closed,
count(id) total_issues,
sum(decode(status,'Open',1,0)) open_issues,
sum(decode(status,'Pending',1,0)) pending_issues,
sum(decode(status,'Resolved',1,0)) closed_issues,
sum(decode(status,'Will Not Resolve',1,0)) not_resolve_issues,
sum(decode(status,
'Open',decode(priority,null,1,0),
0)) open_no_prior,
sum(decode(status,
'Open',decode(priority,1,1,0),
0)) open_prior_1,
sum(decode(status,
'Open',decode(priority,'2',1,0),
0)) open_prior_2
sum(decode(status,
'Open',decode(priority,3,1,0),
0)) open_prior_3,
sum(decode(status,
'Open',decode(priority,'4',1,0),
0)) open_prior_4,
sum(decode(status,
'Open',decode(priority,5,1,0),
0)) open_prior_5
from SOFTPROJ_issues
where project_id = :P83_PROJECT
However, I got the following error during the steps of creation:
1 error has occurred
Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-00923: FROM¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿)
I wonder why if it is getting the error because I could create the report with the following query without problems:
select min(identified_date) first_identified,
max(actual_COMPLETE) last_closed,
count(id) total_issues,
sum(decode(status,'Open',1,0)) open_issues,
sum(decode(status,'Pending',1,0)) pending_issues,
sum(decode(status,'Resolved',1,0)) closed_issues,
sum(decode(status,'Will Not Resolve',1,0)) not_resolve_issues,
sum(decode(status,

sum(decode(status,

sum(decode(status,
'Open',decode(priority,3,1,0),
0)) open_prior_3,
sum(decode(status,
'Open',decode(priority,5,1,0),
0)) open_prior_5
from SOFTPROJ_issues
where project_id = :P83_PROJECT
1 error has occurred
Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-00923: FROM¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿)
The difference is to add the followings only:
sum(decode(status,
'Open',decode(priority,'2',1,0),
0)) open_prior_2
sum(decode(status,
'Open',decode(priority,'4',1,0),
0)) open_prior_4,
Does anyone have any idea to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance,
Rui

By putting a comma after open_prior_2:
sum(decode(status,
'Open',decode(priority,'2',1,0),
0)) open_prior_2,Sima

SQL Query Report Very slow

Hi I have a sql query report that is taking very long to render.The query on sql developer comes back in less than a second.Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Hi
When posting code on the forum, put {noformat}{noformat} (with the curly brackets and the word code in lowercase) above and below your code like this...
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT *
FROM emp
{noformat}{noformat}
It will then appear like this, preserving formatting...SELECT *
FROM emp
Next, how many rows are returned in total, it may be that you have SQL Developer set up to fetch only the first x number of rows?
Why have you put a CHOOSE hint in there?
Is it a classic report or an interactive report?
It looks like you're going over a database link, you really need to provide an explain plan (formatted as I have detailed above), a DRIVING_SITE hint may help you but it's impossible to know without seeing the plan...
Cheers

Change column order updateable sql query report APEX 4

Hi all,
I have a master detail page. Detail is SQL Query (updateable report)
I want to change the column order but seems not possiible anymore in A4.
In A3... on the right side of the report attributes it was possible to move columns up or down.
path is Home>>Application Builder>>Application nnn >>Page xx >>Report Attributes
It seems that A4 the move up or down functionality is hidden or the region is to small with no horizontal scrollbar.
Is there a work_aorund?
This is also the case when the pages are displayed in icon view when showing all pages using.
Home >> Application Builder >>Application
Most right icons are hidden after the about and task regions.
The work-around here is to display the pages in report or detail view
Maybe a fix needed for APEX4?
have nice weekend!

Selecting values between 2 dates for an SQL query report region

I have a region where im selecting between 2 dates
select hp.NAME, hp.VALUE, hp.UPDATEDATE, hp.DESCRIPTION, hp.UPDATE_COMMENT, hp.HASH, hp.IDCATEGORY
from HIST_REPORT hr, HIST_PARAM hp
where hp.dbid = hr.dbid and hr.id = :P7_ID and hp.UPDATEDATE between :P7_BDATE and :P7_EDATE
The problem is that if I have a row thats dated today (april 1) and if I set the beginning date (BDATE) to april 1 as well as the ending date (EDATE), no rows show and I would like the april 1 row to show. How can I modify my query to fix this?

and hp.UPDATEDATE between :P7_BDATE
and decode(:P7_EDATE,:P7_BDATE,:P7_EDATE+1,:P7_EDATE)This assumes, though, that the time component of your items is implicitly 00:00.

Column Headings on PL/SQL returning SQL Query report- using br

Hi,
I would like to create a report region based upon a function returning a SQL query. As a dem oI have created the following:
create or replace function xxjk_retsql return varchar2
as
begin
return 'select i "column header" from wwv_flow_dual100';
end;I want to be able to insert a line break in the column header so it wraps over two lines. I tried this:
create or replace function xxjk_retsql return varchar2
as
begin
return 'select i "column<br>header" from wwv_flow_dual100';
end;however when the region is rendered, it appears to strip out the HTML tag. I also tried another tag, <i></i>, as a test and this is stripped out also.
Is there a way to include a break in a column header in this manner?
Thank-you,

There is an option Strip HTML and it is turned on by default. Try changing that to see what happes.

SQL Query report - how to evaluate the current sort column?

Hi,
I have a need to determine which column has been selected to sort the current report by. I need to pull this column name and pass it when a button is pressed so that the ensuing PDF report generated using PLPDF will be able to sort the data the same way.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
As i think, you need to create report manually using SQL query and for sorting you can put a drop down box and user can select a field name and shorting type that is ASC or DESC from another drop down and than generate a report, additionally you can have another button for exporting to PDF that you can now manage through PLPDF and you can get the shorting column.
hope this can help you.
Thanks,

Return value for Direct OBPM SQL Query in OBPM 10GR3

Hi all,
I use a direct SQL Query provided by OBPM 10GR3 in my automatic activity to select certain elements from the db. The query is as follows:-
foreach (element in
SELECT id FROM TESTTABLE WHERE requestId = 732 and status = 1 )
// statements
logMessage("-- The id is-->" +element.id);
This only returns when the id is found in the db but returns nothing when not found in db?
How can I always get a return value? atleast a true or false, so that I can put IF statements?
Because if it returns nothing, the loop does not execute {}? So we cannot put something like:-
foreach (element in
SELECT id FROM TESTTABLE WHERE requestId = 732 and status = 1 )
logMessage("-- The id is-->" +element.id);
if(element.id == null)
logMessage("-- Id Not Found -->" );
else
logMessage("-- Id Found -->");
How can I always get a return value from my OBPM direct query ?
Remember , I am not using DynamicSQL in this case?

Hi,
Set a Boolean flag value to False before the SQL query.
Some thing like:
boolean flag = false;
foreach (element in
SELECT id FROM TESTTABLE WHERE requestId = 732 and status = 1 )
logMessage("-- The id is-->" +element.id);
flag = true;
if(flag) {
logMessage("-- Id Found -->" );
else
logMessage("-- Id Not Found -->");
Hope the above logic would work fine.
