SQL queries inside html region

Hi,
I have html page in my application and i need to display result of the sql query inside this page. I would like to know if i can use the sql queries in html and if yes how can do that.
My query is select count(*) from Quote Letter master where service = 'Premier Support'
And i have similar queries like this which i would like to use in the html region.
Thank you,
rakesh

My query is select count(*) from Quote Letter master where service = 'Premier Support'.For this you better use a page item and compute the items value using a page computation on on-load before header point. Then you can place the page items in a APEX region and also add any styling

How to embed PL/SQL queries in HTML in Database App Development VM?

I'm reading "Learning Oracle PL/SQL" and this book tells me that if I can install apache httpd and modplsql I can embed queries in HTML.
How do I do this in Database App Development VM?
Do I already have apache httpd installed? Is it already started?
If not, how do I start it?
What am I getting when I point my firefox browser to http://localhost:1158/em? I'm getting a nice web page that is prompting for username and password. What username and password do I use? oracle/oracle did not work!
What does this web site do? Administer the database server?
I already tried to use "yum install emacs" as I mentioned in Re: How to Install emacs, openssh and start oracle database and get a connect? and it appears that the repository for "yum" is not correct.
"yum install httpd" does not work either.
When I tried "sudo yum install httpd" it says
"Sorry, user oracle is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/yum install httpd' as root on localhost.localdomain."
I get the same message for "sudo yum isntall emacs".
Thanks

How to pass sql query to html region

Is it possible to pass the results of a sql query (say in a page process) to javascript in an html region on the same page?

Anton,
Thank you very much for your useful answer. Yes, the page item will work for a query that returns one row. I am not aware how to duplicate this functionality for a query that returns multiple rows.
I am trying to use this method in order to send time series data to a third-party charting engine required to produce specific types of charts that HTML DB cannot build itself.
I can cause the third-party chart server to build a chart on an HTML DB page with static data by using pure html or javascript. But I am not sure how to send the full time series to the server as I would say on a jsp page.

SQL Query in HTML

Hi,
I've been trying to create a header using HTML. I was wondering how I can put an SQL query inside HTML codes.
Here are HTML code and SQL Query:
HTML:
<table width="100%" height="135" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFF33"><span class="style9"><br></span><span class="style9"></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFCC"><span class="style6"><br>
FOCUS LIST <span class="style8">FUND FACT SHEET</span></span><br>
<span class="style7">THIS IS WHERE THE SQL QUERY WILL RETURN <br>
<br>
</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
SQL Query:
select     "MFR_STRATEGY_INFORMATION"."SI_NAME" as "SI_NAME"
from     "MFR_STRATEGY_INFORMATION" "MFR_STRATEGY_INFORMATION",
     "MFR_POOL_MONEY" "MFR_POOL_MONEY",
     "MFR_MSTAR_FEED" "MFR_MSTAR_FEED"
where "MFR_MSTAR_FEED"."MSF_FUNDID"="MFR_POOL_MONEY"."F_MSF_FUNDID_FK"
and     "MFR_STRATEGY_INFORMATION"."SI_SYS_ID"="MFR_POOL_MONEY"."F_SI_SYS_ID_FK"
and      "MFR_MSTAR_FEED"."MSF_SECID" =:P55_SECID

Hello,
Create a hidden item and specify as source your select statement so the item contains the value you want.
In your html region you specify the item like &P1_ITEM. and you should see the value.

Erratic Report Region Behavior with Dynamic SQL Queries

I'm running HTMLDB v 1.5.1.00.12 and I've noticed some odd behavior with report regions using dynamic SQL queries. Every so often, our testers will run a page containing a dynamic sql report region and get the following error, (despite the fact the query was working only moments ago and no other developer has touched it):
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
or sometimes
failed to parse SQL query:ORA-01403: no data found
The only solution I've found so far is to:
1) Make a copy of the failed report region.
2) Disable or delete the original failed report region.
The new copy of the report region runs without issue.
My search of the forums turned up the following two threads, but neither provided me with a clear explanation of the cause, and how to avoid it:
ORA-06502:PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Re: Import Export Error (ORA-06502)
The columns being returned are below the 4000 character limit, and the rows being returned are far less than 32k in size.
Could this have anything to do with the way HTMLDB is internally storing the PL/SQL used to generate the dynamic SQL Query? Is there any known issue related to this with that version of HTMLDB?
This problem occurs without any discernable pattern or consistency, making it hard to determine where I should focus my efforts in tracking down the cause.

Hi all,
My report seems to be behaving correctly once i set it to "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" :)
Cheers,
Joel

How to Convert Variable containing HTML to be read as HTML in HTML region

To understand the question, I have a table storing generated HTML by user and report type:
USER      | REPORT_TYPE | HTML_GENERATED
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
TEST_USER |   TEST      | <HTML><head><title></title></head><BODY>TEST</BODY></HTML>   |On the page exists a process using a PL/SQL anonymous block which is set to "On Load Before Header". Here is a portion of it:
SELECT HTML_GENERATED into :P2_HTML
from LN_DOCUMENT_LABELS
where USER = :app_user AND REPORT_TYPE = 'TEST';The idea is to generate all the HTML behind the scenes in another package.
There exists a single Item on the page to store the variable into:
P2_HTML     (Hidden) Then I created an HTML region, and within that region I wanted to call in the item so I entered:
&P2_HTML.The result simply displays the HTML code:
<HTML><head><title></title></head><BODY>TEST</BODY></HTML>Is there a way to force it to be the result of HTML code when the page renders?
TEST

Hopefully that's just poorly chosen sample HTML? APEX page templates already include those elements. Trying to output a complete HTML document inside an APEX page generally results in a mangled, inoperative mess.

Hidden page items these will always be escaped when referenced as static text substitution strings. (You may indeed have done this in previous versions of APEX at some point in the past, but there have been incremental restrictions introduced in several recent APEX versions.)
Instead of a hidden page item, use an application item, or a Display Only page item with display Condition set to Never.

PL/SQL output in a region

Greetings,
I have the following pl/sql routine that I'm playing with, eventually wanting to create a custom report building the HTML myself based on another table. My problem is that this code will only work within a process. Is there any way to include it inside a region so that I an apply a template to the eventual output of the data?
declare
type my_cursor_type is ref cursor return emp%rowtype;
my_cursor my_cursor_type;
my_cursor2 my_cursor_type;
f emp%rowtype;
f2 emp%rowtype;
begin
open my_cursor for SELECT * from emp;
LOOP
fetch my_cursor into f;
exit when my_cursor%notfound;
htp.p(f.ename);htp.p('---');htp.p(f.empno); htp.br;
open my_cursor2 for select * from emp where empno = f.empno;
LOOP
fetch my_cursor2 into f2;
exit when my_cursor2%notfound;
htp.p(f2.empno); htp.br;
end LOOP;
close my_cursor2;
end LOOP;
close my_cursor;
end;
Thanks in Advance,

Looking for an answer to:
Report by Date with Date Headings.
? :) I'll take a stab at it tonight sometime.
Anyway, you can't do ref cursors in HTML DB. Additionally, there is no way to apply templates to anything but a SQL query or a function body returning SQL query.

Possible to display null item value as 'All' in blank HTML region?

Apex 4.1
Theme 21
Hi There,
I have select list which has null and other values. I have created a blank HTML region with the following text
Report for the year &P2_YEAR. and for geography &P2_GEOG.
Now P2_YEAR works fine because, it is always populated with a year. However, &P2_GEOG has 'All' as null value since we can see the report for all geographies. However, if the all option is selected, the above &P2_GEOG. shows as null. Since its not a PL/SQL proc, I cannot put in a NVL. I am guessing one possible way is to write a PL/SQL code before region and then check if its null and then try to populate a new hidden field and show, something like that. Wondering if there is a way to do it directly in the HTML region?
Thanks,
Sun

Hi Morten,
in the validation callback you could use apex_util.set_session_state to modify the page items value. We do that ourself in the "Number Field" native item type plug-in.

How to load a large amount of HTML into HTML region?

I am trying to display a clickable image map (HTML <map>) in a region. The HTML source for the image map is fairly large and will not fit in the Apex editor (HTTP 400 error when I Apply Changes). I would also rather not manage that much HTML in the Apex web editor. So I stored the code in a file and added it to my applications file storage.
I have tried various methods of getting the HTML to load when the page is rendered. I tried a URL region, but that leads to all kinds of ACL/security issues that we do not want the customner to have to deal with. i also tried some PL/SQL:
DECLARE
l_file_id NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT id
INTO l_file_id
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES
WHERE filename = 'myhtml';
APEX_UTIL.GET_FILE(
p_file_id => l_file_id,
p_inline => 'YES');
END;
But that just replaces the entire page, not just the region it's defined in (even when the HTML is without <head> etc).
Various attampes wih #APP_IMAGES#myhtml and &APP_IMAGES.myhtml just give me the translation of the APP_IMAGES variable.
So, how do I load a large chunk of HTML into a region dynamically at run time? I also need this to interact with APEX in the sense that JavaScript will set APEX variables and cause a SUBMIT when the use clicks on the image map.

Hi Andy,
ATD wrote:
Does your HTML define the regions/points on the map using AREA tags?Yes. it is actually generated using MapSefrver from huge tables of SDO_GEOMETRY (Oracle Spatial).
If so, you could define a report template that does this and use this for a report based on a table that has the settings for shape, coords, href etcHmm, the code (HTML map) is auto-generated so if I understand you correctly, this might be difficult. One of the HTML is approximately 180KB of text.
I found a way to do this using dynamic PL/SQL. I created a new table that has a varchar filename and a CLOB for the file data. I then imported the HTML into the table using SQL Developer (copy&paste, nice!). I then created an HTML region and used the following:
declare
html clob;
len number;
st number;
c number;
begin
select length(data)
into len
from FILES
where name = 'state_query.html';
st := 1;
while len > 0
loop
if len > 32000 then
c := 32000;
else
c := len;
end if;
select substr( data,st,c )
into html
from FILES
where name = 'state_query.html';
htp.p( html );
st := st + c;
len := len - c;
end loop;
end;

Using a Target in an HTML Region

Hi, I have a page with an HTML Region, which links to an external html page. The external page has links to other, secondary external pages. I'd like for the secondary links to open and replace the original external page within the same region on my HTMLDB page.
I've considered trying to create a FRAME inside the region, then using the HREF TARGET= in the external files to point to that FRAME. But, I'd like to be able to do this without manipulating the html code inside the external pages (though that might be an option if I can't get there without doing so).
Any other ideas?
Thanks as always for your help...

How to Display PHP Output as Portlet in HTML Region using utl_http.request

I wanted to be able to parse PHP functions to add more functionality to my Page. nothing fantasy, something simple like: http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/phpsysinfo-dev/?template=classic
Where the realtime values are retrieved from the OS. this represent some kind of problem to me, I know how to do it from Shell Script, Perl or PHP, but not from PL/SQL.
Based on my experience using Oracle Portal, Portlets, I think we really can make use of the feature used in Portal called Web Clipping. [ This feature basically goes to some Site a retrieve part of the site to show in the current page]. Well the PL/SQL utility utl_http.request does something similar.
Make sure your request page does not retrieve some headers because that would cause a problem in your page and will not show up.
This is what I did:
<b> 1.- </b> Grant Privileges to execute [ <b> utl_http.request </b> ] to the owner of your schema.
login into the OracleXE / APEX as SYS then go to the Object Navigator, then click on packages, find the utl_http.request then click on it, later click on grant and select your schema owner for your applicaion.
<b> 2.- </b> Logout as SYS then login as your application schema user. just to test the functionality go to the sql command then enter the following command and then click run:
<b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://www.oracle.com/'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
If your output is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Oracle 10g, Siebel, PeopleSoft | Oracle, The World's Largest Enterprise Software Company</title> <meta name="title" content="Enterprise Applications | Database | Fusio
<font color='blue'> Wow It worked </font>, this really could be useful !!, If not go back to step 1 and check your permissions to execute, or perhaps your Internet connectivity.
3.- Once we know the package works and we can retrieve content from the Internet. lets go to some of our pages add some HTML Region.
4.- Create an item and put into the new region. the source will be SQL, For the purposes of my test the query to the Oracle Page failed, so I decided to give a shot with a simple PHP script with no headers.
The internal server is: http://mytest.com/hello_world.php
Where the content of the hello_world.php is:
<?
echo '"<b> Hello World </b> ";
?>
This PHP works fine and display the basic Hello World. can be the same server or not, also noticed this can be another port perhaps using something like Ruby,Mason or Java.
<b> 5.- </b> Finally in my Item the source type is SQL and looks like this:
<b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://mytest.com/hello_world.php'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
Apply the changes and run the page !!!
Excelent It worked as expected. now you know how use utl_http.request to create webclipping in your OracleXE / APEX from remote pages, or how to use it to parse the output from CGI, Perl, PHP, Ruby or Java pages.
Note: [ Just make sure to strip the headers or parse into a PL/SQL Procedure to clean then show ]
Best Regards <b> Dino </b>.

Sorry, from your post in the LabVIEW board I did not understand that it was the Output message that you were looking for.
I thought you wanted the results from your test steps displayed on the user interface.
It is the “Output Panel” in the sequence editor that displays your output message, but I do not know if there is default Output panel activeX indicator for user interface that the TestStand engine would update automatically like it does the execution view.
Maybe someone else knows
As also pointed out, the UI messages is your other option.
The Output Message event number is 40
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3879
UIMsg_OutputMessages–(Value: 40) TestStand sends this message at periodic intervals when it holds references to output messages that calls to the OutputMessage.Post method queue. TestStand transfers the queued messages to an OutputMessages collection attached to the UIMessage.ActiveXData property for this event. An application that processes output messages should copy the output message references from the collection in UIMessage.ActiveXData to its own private OutputMessages collection by passing its private collection to the OutputMessages.CopyMessagesToCollection method. An application calls the Engine.NewOutputMessages method to create a private OutputMessage collection. TestStand generates this event only if the Engine.OutputMessagesEnabled property is True. Because there can be more than one handler for this event, the application should not modify the OutputMessages collection the UIMessage.ActiveXData property holds.

Export all sql reports in a region to csv or pdf

Hello there,
I have a region on a particular page in apex and that region has about 12 different sql query reports.
I have enabled csv option for each of them so there are 12 links to export each report. However
I would like to have only 1 link which will save the contents of all the reports to csv or pdf. The
column headings are different for some of these reports but wanted to know if something like this
is possible.
Thanks in advance for reading this.

You might try wrapping the regions in html regions that essentially give you the ability to specify a valign=top for the report regions.
So, your regions look like this:
30 Report Start - contains region source = (div)<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td valign="top">
40 Approved Tests Report (Column 2) Conditional
45 Report 2 Start - contains </td><td valign="top">
60 Unapproved Tests Report (Column 2) Conditional
65 Report 3 Start - contains </td><td valign="top">
80 Approved Count by Build Report (Column 2) Conditional
85 Report End - contains "</td></tr></table>(/div)"
Replace () with the angle brackets
Maybe there is a more elegant solution with templates or page level CSS or something..
But that should work.

How to add a link to html region to fire a dynamic action?

Hi, guys:
I need to add a hyper link to a html region (I wish it could be a button :( ) , the value of items in this region is loaded by a pl/sql process before loading header. And this link needs to fire a dynamic action to update database. I know how to add a hyper link to this region, but how to set this link so I can fire a dynamic action by clicking this link, could anyone give me a hint?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi, Jorge:
Thanks for your reply. I cannot use updateRec, I have to use my own PL/SQL procedure. I tried to use similar way as people set dynamic action for modal page.
I set column link for ncic_approve_link
SELECT SOR_ALIAS.ALIAS_ID,

(case when SOR_ALIAS.ncic_verify_date is null then 'NCIC' else null end) ncic_approve_link
FROM SOR_ALIAS
WHERE SOR_ALIAS.OFFENDER_ID    = :p216_detail
AND SOR_ALIAS.ADMIN_VALIDATED IS NOT NULL
AND upper(SOR_ALIAS.STATUS)    = upper('active')the link attributes is
onclick="return false;" class="alias_ncic" title="NCIC Approve"then I pass two values to two hidden variables:
P216_H_NCIC_APPROVE_TABLE_NAME--->'SOR_ALIAS'
P216_H_NCIC_APPROVE_KEY_VALUE--->#ALIAS_ID#
and I declare a dynamic action to execute PL/SQl code as :
event: click
selection type: JQuery seclector
JQuery selector: a.alias_ncic
declare
begin
sor_admin.update_NCIC_verify_date(:P216_H_NCIC_APPROVE_TABLE_NAME, :P216_H_NCIC_APPROVE_KEY_VALUE);
end;However, the PL/SQL was called but raised exception that both the parameters are null. It looks when user click the column link, the value is not passed to hidden items. Could you help me on this?
