SHUTTLE PAGE ITEM in Query

Question

APEX 4.0.2 DB 11i
Ok, so I have a need to query item tables based on multiple selections.
In a SQL query I'd do something like this...
select
from
ITEMS
where PART in ('Widget','HW')
HOW do I do this using the SHUTTLE item....?
The SHUTTLE essentially produces this output.... Widget:HW
Any ideas?
Thanks

Answer 1

You could use a function returning sql for you report and then build the query code to handle the : delimited string from your shuttle....
In the code you could use the following to parse your values into a string for processing:
DECLARE
v_selected APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
BEGIN
-- Convert the colon separated string into an array
v_selected := APEX_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(:P1_SELECTED_PARTS);
-- Loop over array and append to output text variable
-- Initialize output textarea
:P1_SEL_PARTS := '';
FOR i IN 1..v_selected.count LOOP
  :P1_SEL_PARTS := :P1_SEL_PARTS|| v_selected(i) || chr(10);
END LOOP;
END;Thank you,
