Sql function question.

Hello,
Is there any SQL function in order to separate the data by identifier ?
Like this :
A/B/C in this sentence, I used the â/â as an identifier.
Results :
A
B
C
I have to separate the data by using the identifier.
Help pleaseâ¦.
Thanks in advance.

I have posted a procedure that does that Re: Splitting the values in one column.

New to PL/SQL, function question

Hello guys,
I'm new to PL/SQL but have done C# and some Java.
Here is an example from a book I'm using:
declare
     v_pi_nr NUMBER:= 3.14;
     function f_getDiff_Nr(i_rad1_nr NUMBER, i_rad2_nr NUMBER)
     return NUMBER is
          v_area1_nr NUMBER;
          v_area2_nr NUMBER;
          v_out_nr NUMBER;
     function f_getArea_Nr(i_rad_nr NUMBER)
     return NUMBER
     is
     begin
          return v_pi_nr*(i_rad_nr**2); /inner
     end;
     begin
          v_area1_nr:= f_getArea_Nr(i_rad1_nr);
          v_area2_nr:= f_getArea_Nr(i_rad2_nr);
          v_out_nr := v_area1_nr-v_area2_nr;
          return v_out_nr;             /outer
     end;
     begin
          DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Diff between 3 and 4:'||f_getDiff_Nr(4, 3));
          DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Diff between 4 and 5:'||f_getDiff_Nr(4, 3));
          DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Diff between 5 and 6:'||f_getDiff_Nr(4, 3));
     end;I'm wondering how it works, does outer function (f_getDiff_Nr) run first then passes the result to the inner function (f_getArea_Nr)?
Many thanks,
Mike

I think it's easier to understand indented and commented like this
declare     -- for anonymous block
    v_pi_nr NUMBER:= 3.14;
    function f_getDiff_Nr(i_rad1_nr NUMBER, i_rad2_nr NUMBER)
     return NUMBER is
          v_area1_nr NUMBER;
          v_area2_nr NUMBER;
          v_out_nr NUMBER;
          function f_getArea_Nr(i_rad_nr NUMBER)
          return NUMBER
          is
          begin     -- f_getArea-Nr body
               return v_pi_nr*(i_rad_nr**2); /inner
          end;     -- f_getArea-Nr body
     begin     -- f_getDiff_Nr body
          v_area1_nr:= f_getArea_Nr(i_rad1_nr);
          v_area2_nr:= f_getArea_Nr(i_rad2_nr);
          v_out_nr := v_area1_nr-v_area2_nr;
          return v_out_nr;             /outer
     end;     -- f_getDiff_Nr body
begin     -- anonymous block body
     DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Diff between 3 and 4:'||f_getDiff_Nr(4, 3));
     DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Diff between 4 and 5:'||f_getDiff_Nr(4, 3));     -- Shouldn't the arguments be (5, 4)?
     DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Diff between 5 and 6:'||f_getDiff_Nr(4, 3));     -- Shouldn't the arguments be (6, 5)?
end;     f_getDiff_Nr is defined inside the anonymous block; that means it can only be called from within that anonymous block.
f_getArea_Nr is defined inside f_getDiff_Nr; that means it can only be called from within f_getArea_Nr. That's an unusual way to write functions. It's much more common to define functions inside a package, or to define them as stand-alone functions (that is, not within any other PL/SQL unit). Either way, they could be called from anywhere.

Question about PL/SQL Function in report

Hi all. I have a (basic) question about using a PL/SQL function in a report. In my report page I have an item (PL/SQL function) that has the following syntax:
return username from t1
where username like 'Le%'
I reference this item in an email process. Ideally this function would return all usernames that begin with 'Le' in the drafted email; however, its not looping so I'm only getting a return on the first name.
I have a few books on PL/SQL but I'm not exactly sure where to start - I imagine there is a loop process I need to integrate into the function but, like I said, I'm not sure.
I would have posted this to the PL/SQL forum but also wanted some feedback on whether or not using this method is the best way forward. Essentially I have a table with usernames and just want to send email messages based on some simple logic.
Thanks!
Len

Hi Sergio,
First, it's an honor to have you reply to my post. Thanks!
To be more specific,
T1 is a table containing the results from a user security scan. Username is a column in this table containing user names. What I have done is create a page in HTML DB with the following elements:
1. An 'Item' containing the PL/SQL function that is hidden. The purpose of this Item is to generate information from T1 that meets the simple logic parameters - in this case, the user names that begin with "Le". I have called this Item P145_TT
2. A 'Process' containing references to HTMLDB_MAIL. The 'Process' looks similar to this:
HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND(
P_TO => '[email protected]',
P_FROM => 'Anon Email Account',
P_BODY => 'Note: This message was automatically generated. Do not attempt to reply to this email.
These are the users that begin with Le: '||:P145_TT||' ',
P_SUBJ => 'Summary');
3. A 'Button' to submit the process and (hopefully) send the message containing all users that adhere to the logic in the function.
4. If I use 'return username from t1...' I will get a username generated, but like I said previously, it only gives me the first and does not loop.

Interactive Report with PL/SQL Function Source

Is it possible to create interactive report with PL/SQL function source returing a query? If not, has anyone done any work to simulate the interactive reporting feature for a normal report using API?

I haven't tried that before but you could:
1. create a collection from your result set returned by a dynamic query,
2. create a view on that collection,
3. use the view in your interactive report.
The usability of this proposal depends from a question how "dynamic" your query is - does it always have the same number of columns or not.

Pass a value from a PL/SQL function to a javascript (html header) ? ?

Hey Guys,
Have a question regarding how to pass a value from a PL/SQL function to a javascript in the HTML Header.
I have created a PL/SQL function in my database, which does looping.
The reason for this is: On my apex page when the user selects a code, it should display(or highlight buttons) the different project id's present for that particular code.
example= code 1
has project id's = 5, 6, 7
code 2
has project id's = 7,8
Thank you for your Help or Suggestions

Jesh:
I have made the following modifications to your app to get it to work as I thing you need it to.
1) Changed the source for the HTML Buttons Region(note use of id vs name for the Buttons)
<script>
function hilitebtn(val) {
//gray buttons
$x('graduate').style.backgroundColor='gray'
$x('distance').style.backgroundColor='gray'
$x('career').style.backgroundColor='gray'
$x('photo').style.backgroundColor='gray'
//AJAX call to get project-ids
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=GETPROJECTS',0);
get.addParam('x01',val)
gReturn = get.get();
var arr=gReturn.split(':'); //dump into array
get = null;
for (i=0;i<arr.length;i++) {
// alert('val=' + arr);
if ( arr[i]==5)
$x('graduate').style.backgroundColor='red';
if ( arr[i]==6)
$x('distance').style.backgroundColor='red';
if ( arr[i]==7)
$x('career').style.backgroundColor='red';
if ( arr[i]==8)
$x('photo').style.backgroundColor='red';
</script>
<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' border='0'>
<tr><td>
<input type='button' id='graduate' value='Graduate'>
</td>
<td>
<input type='button' id='distance' value='Distance'>
</td>
<td>
<input type='button' id='career' value='Career/Tech'>
</td>
<td>
<input type='button' id='photo' value='Photos'>
</td>
</tr></table>
2) Defined the application process GETPROJECTS as DECLARE
IDS varchar2(1000);
l_act_code varchar2(100) :=4;
begin
IDS:='';
l_act_code := wwv_flow.g_x01;
for x in(
SELECT ACT_CODE,PROJECT_ID
FROM ASQ_CONTACT
where ACT_CODE = l_act_code)
LOOP
IDS := IDS || X.PROJECT_ID|| ':' ;
END LOOP;
HTP.PRN(IDS);
END;
3) Changed the 'onchange' event-handler on p1_act_code to be 'onchange=hilitebtn(this.value)'
4) Added the JS to the HTML Page Footer <script>
hilitebtn($v('P1_ACT_CODE'));
</SCRIPT>

Using return value of a pl/sql function in the "where" coarse in a

Hi,
I have a question,
if I have a pl/sql function that returns a boolean value, how can I use
it directly in a select statement?
I can easily do this if the function returns a number value , e.g.
select * from my_table where my_package.function('abc') = 1;
But I can't figure out how to do this if the function return a boolean.
Any idea other than creating another function?
Please reply to me directly as I'm not in the email list. Thanks.

BOOLEAN is not a SQL datatype - you can only reference Boolean values in PL/SQL.

Data passed from Java to a PL/SQL function

OK, I am at the beginner-to-intermediate level when it comes to PL/SQL...and a virtual novice when it comes to Java, so please forgive me if my question seems strange or naive.
We are developing a Java-based web app. Some of the screens are reminiscent of a spreadsheet-type layout--potentially LOTS of rows and LOTS of columns (actually, an open-ended # of rows/columns--the rows represent a particular 'thing' and the columns represent the dates on which that 'thing' occurred), where the user can check off any and all the cells that apply. We are also 'auditing' all database activity (who did what to the data, and when). The approach we have chosen is as follows: When the user clicks save, the first thing we do is 'inactivate' all of the existing active rows in the db for that screen, whether or not they have changed(i.e., there is an 'active' flag that we set to false & we also save the user id of the person making the change and the date time of the change). Then the Java code calls the database once per row/contiguous column unit. For instance, on a single row, if the user checks off columns 1-4 and 7-15 and column 21 the Java code will send three calls to the database for that row with info about the start/stop column for each unit.
OK--here is my concern...the majority of the time there will be a reasonably small #of 'units'. Occasionally there will be a moderate, and once in awhile a LARGE # of 'units'. So, let's take an extreme case and say that currently the db has 200 such row/contiguous column units for a given screen. The user goes into that screen and adds the 201st unit, then clicks Save. Java calls the db to first inactivate the 200 rows. Then one by one Java calls the db to add the rows back in, only on row #40, the internet connection is lost. The only way the user can tell what happened is to look at the entire screen and reverify ALL the data in order to tell what got saved/resaved and what didn't. Obviously this is a bad situation that we want to avoid.
I should add that the reason this approach was chosen is that the Java developers thought it would be way too complex in this situation to track the changes the user made on the screen, sort out what has been added/modified/deleted, and only call the db for changes.
So given this background, can anyone offer any suggestions/ideas on how we can prevent unintended data loss given the auditing constraints and concern about minimizing complexity on the Java side (redesigning the GUI screen is NOT an option, as the users are very attached to this design)?
Is there a way for Java to pass a multidimensional (& variable-sized) array to a PL/SQL function? Can Oracle's complex (row, table) data types be used in a function's parameter string, and if so...how?...Or else is there some way we can send a single call to the db on a screen like this one? We thought of calling the db once and sending one very large string packed with all the data (could get very big, not sure of Oracle's limatations on passed data--is it 32K for varchar2? )
Advice, ideas, even random thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Tracy,
<quote>â¦ only on row #40, the internet connection is lost. The only way the user can tell what happened is to look at the entire screen and reverify ALL the data in order to tell what got saved/resaved and what didn't</quote>
That would be "the only way" if the Java programmers had decided to totally bury the error â¦ what should happen here is the end-user should get a proper error message â¦ no need to re-verify at this point since all bets are off (in fact, nothing shouldâve been changed in the database).
Nonetheless, your concerns regarding the chosen approach are valid â¦ making multiple calls to the database after a Save makes controlling a business transaction rather complex (in an n-tier system) â¦ they should make one call only to the database passing in all the data to be saved â¦ one database transaction â¦ either all changes get applied or none.
The fact that lots of data may need to be passed in for one Save is of no relevance â¦ if you have to carry 500Kb of data for that screen then, well, you have to do it â¦ 1 bucket of 500Kb or 50 buckets of 10Kb? â¦ it doesnât really matter as far as the actual transport part is concerned.
As already answered, one can pass complex types in pl/sql â¦ so one database call per Save would be my first random thought. There are lots of suspect things in here â¦ some things you didnât mentioned at all â¦ like how is concurrency addressed? â¦ have you/they implemented some sort of optimistic locking mechanism? Of course the architecture of your system wonât be solved in a forum â¦ so, finding a good system/data/Oracle architect on site for the project would be my second random thought.
PS. One last random thought â¦ fight off that idea of packing and sending large strings (XML or not) â¦ if the data is structured then contemplate XML for no more than few seconds.

Support of PL/SQL Functions in Data Modeler

Hello,
Sorry if this question has already been answered, I searched the forum but got 215 hits on data modeler + pl/sql functions.
So my question is:
Stored Procedures are already supported by the physical model (11g) of data modeler, but I could not find any method
to create pl/sql functions via data modeler - neither in the documentation nor on the user interface. Is this
currently not supported?

Is this currently not supported?There will be support for functions and packages in next release.

Using HANA SQL Functions in select list of CDS Views

Dear Expert,
Kindly please let me know if we can use the HANA SQL Function (Ex: ADD_DAYS, SECONDS_BETWEEN) in the select list of CDS Views?
If I create a CDS like below I get error that timestamp is not supported.
For Example:
@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'ZMR_H_CA'
@EndUserText.label: 'CAG A'
define view viewname
with parameters start_ts:abap.dec( 15, 0 ) , end_ts:abap.dec( 15, 0 )
as select from table {
key resource_key,
TO_TIMESTAMP(begtstmp) as start_tmp,
TO_TIMESTAMP(begtstmp) as end_tmp
where
(begtstmp > $parameters.start_ts or endtstmp > $parameters.start_ts )
and
(begtstmp < $parameters.end_ts or endtstmp < $parameters.end_ts )
Thanks,
Giri

Hi Giri,
the list of provided features can be found in the ABAP Language Documentation (F1 in the CDS View).
As CDS in ABAP is abstracted from the database layer, the database features are not directly accessible. That means, you cannot use any HANA or MaxDB feature available. So the answer to your question is no. The reason for this is, that ABAP CDS views can be created on all SAP-supported databases, hence, we can only provide those features, supported by all databases.
Having said this, there are some exception, e.g. the CDS views with input parameters, which are not supported by all databases. In these cases, you'd have to additionally use the utility class CL_ABAP_DBFEATURES (see http://scn.sap.com/community/abap/blog/2014/10/10/abap-news-for-740-sp08--abap-core-data-services-cds) for more details.

Calling PL/SQL functions in SQL

Hi,
I had a question on the behaviour of PL/SQL function when they are embedded in SQL queries.
I have simple PL/SQl function:
function get_city_id
(vCUSTOMER_GROUP_ID IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
vIDs VARCHAR2(1000);
begin
vIDs := '2,3';
RETURN vIDs;
end;
I use an SQL query call this PL SQL function;
select equipment_id from equipment where equipment_type_id in (get_city_id(0));
When I run this query I get this error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01722: invalid number
I understand that the SQL compiler is complaining that get_city_id() function is not returning a number. but isn't the PL/SQL suppose to be replace with whatever string is returned from the function.
This brings me to the second question: How can we return multiple values from a function to the SQL query, when the function is called in a SQL query. In my above explame, can the get_city_id() function return more than one city id and if yes, the how?
Thanks for the help in advance
regards
Alankar

How can we return multiple values from a function to the SQL query,Have it return a collection, e.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE VARCHAR2_TT AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(4000)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_collection
    RETURN VARCHAR2_TT
AS
BEGIN
    RETURN VARCHAR2_TT(1,2,3);
END;
SELECT *
FROM   employees
WHERE emp_id IN
       ( SELECT column_value
         FROM   TABLE(test_collection) );

SQL, PL/SQL functions, and ORA-04091 table is mutating

Dears,
Recently a question came up in an Oracle French forum about an insert/select that is throwing ORA-04091: table xxxx is mutating, trigger/function may not see it error in 11g while the same insert/select was working very well in 10g. The original poster gave a scenario that is easily reproducible. I am wondering what database release is correct the one throwing the error(11g) or the other one accepting the insert/select(10g)?

SQL Functions Sintax

LabVIEW 8.5 and Database Connectivity Toolkit and Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider
I have built the DB structure using the MS ACCESS 2003. One of it´s fileds, I have defined as Short Date, as I had beleived that I was going to get just the date, for instance, 06/07/2007, but instead of this I get the day, 06/07/2007 plus the time, 12:24:34, all together 06/07/2007 12:24:34
My two questions :
1) how to store in the date base, just the date, no the time
2) the SQL Function syntax to display just the date. I thought the correct sintax was : Select SUBSTR(xxx,0,10) from Table. Where xxx is the name of the field in the Table, 0 is the first character of the string xxx and it´s length
Thanks
Simbani

To answer your direct questions:
1) The "Date/Time" data type is similar to the smalldatetime data type in SQL Server. This stores time information. Can't change this. If you only want to store date information then you need to make your column's datatype to be of character-type. I think "Text" is what Access 2003 uses. Of course, this means you lose anything related to dealing with that column as a date.
2) If Access 2003 follows the same syntax as SQL Server's T-SQL, the SUBSTR won't work with a column that is a date/time data type. That function would only work with strings. This means you have to first convert the column value to a string. I know that in SQL Server's T-SQL the CAST and CONVERT functions would be used. Have no idea what they would be in Access 2003, so you'll need to check the manual.

Calling pl/sql function in controller

HI all
i have a problem in calling a pl/sql function in a controller..
the question is can we call a pl/sql function in a controller if so
will the code below works???
String invoice_id=getInvoiceId().toString();
Number Invoice_amount=getAmount();
DBTransaction txn = getDBTransaction();
String Filesql="BEGIN SELECT sum(AMOUNT_REMAINING) into :1 FROM ap_payment_schedules_all where invoice_id=:2;END;";
OracleCallableStatement Filecs=(OracleCallableStatement)txn.createCallableStatement(Filesql,1);
String AmountRemaining = "";
try{
Filecs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.VARCHAR, 0, 100);
Filecs.setString(2,invoice_id);
Filecs.execute();
AmountRemaining=Filecs.getString(1);
Filecs.close();
catch(SQLException sqle){
try { Filecs.close(); } catch (Exception e) {;}
throw OAException.wrapperException(sqle);
when i write the above code in a controller ..it is saying getDBTransaction not defined....
can u help me out in this...

String RuleName=pageContext.getParameter("CashRule");
String OrgId=pageContext.getParameter("OrgId");
String TransType=pageContext.getParameter("TransactionType");
OAApplicationModule am = (OAApplicationModule)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
OADBTransaction txn = am.getOADBTransaction();
String Filesql="BEGIN select cle_f246_return_anal_mod_pkg.ret_anal_module(:2,:3,:4) into :1 from dual;END;";
OracleCallableStatement Filecs=(OracleCallableStatement)txn.createCallableStatement(Filesql,1);
String AnalyticalModule = "";
try{
Filecs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.VARCHAR, 0, 100);
Filecs.setString(2,TransType);
Filecs.setString(3,RuleName);
Filecs.setString(4,OrgId);
Filecs.execute();
AnalyticalModule=Filecs.getString(1);
Filecs.close();
catch(SQLException sqle){
try { Filecs.close(); } catch (Exception e) {;}
throw OAException.wrapperException(sqle);
this is the code i wrote in controller processformRequest...all the parameters are showiing correct values...but i am getting following error at Filecs.close();
org_id is of type Number but i am passing that as a string as setString accepts only strings...will that cause ne problem???
the error is:

PL/SQL function in datamodel query

Hi All,
I have the following problem:
I have a query Q1 returning a few rows. In the group G1 using this query Q1 i have a computed field returning a number NUM_1.
select col_1, col_2 from table_1;
So the output looks like:
row 1 col_1 col_2 NUM_1_1
row n col_1n col_2n NUM_1_n
I want to order these rows by the calculated column NUM_1 the highest first.
I know i can't order by a calculated column but can i do it by using a pl/sql function in the query to calculate the NUM_1?
Like:
select col_1, col_2, function(x) NUM_1 from table_1;
And where should i create this function? Can it be done in the program unit section or do i have to create a library?
Best regards,
Snoesky

Oke, i have created a break group on the calculated field.
Ordering works fine now.
I have an additional question:
Is it possible to dynamically order this break (column) group? Meaning thru a parameter to tell the ordering to be descending or ascending.
Regards,
Snoesky

PL/SQL Function in AIX

Hello,
I am required to use the following PL/SQL function as part of my procedure:
Create or replace function fqman."test" (name in varchar2, url in varchar 2, page in varchar2, uname in varchar2, password
in varchar 2, key_ in varchar2, pass in varchar2, file1 in varchar2, file2 in varchar2) return number
as language java
name 'Data.file(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String) return int; Data is a java class I have in my /home directory. I would like to run this function NOT through Oracle, but through a shell script. So, I have to write the test function in a .sh file.
I started doing that. I did the following:
fntest()
name =$1
url=$2
page=$3
uname=$4
password=$5
key_=$6
pass=$7
file1=$8
file2=$9
}I do not know how to finish the function. Any help will be appreciated

Let me get this straight,...
you have a PL/SQL functions which is a wrapper for the java program.
You don't want to use the PL/SQL function, but you want to call the java program directly using shell script.
And yet you post your question of the forum that is dedicated to SQL and PL/SQL ...
see the irony in that?

Sql function question.
