Stupid is as stupid asks...

Question

Hi I am new and embarrassed to write in the forum asking silly questions. Thing is I am learning all from scratch without help from anyone. I have created a database (have previous knowledge only from Access) and have managed to create a beautiful report from a search filter. This report lines up several records matching what I needed. Now, I want to make the whole report with hyperlinks to a detailed page on each of the records in the report. I have tried using the feature where one can make one column hyperlinked and redirect to a new page, where I am getting all the records again - instead of only getting the record I am clicking on. I have looked and looked in the forums without finding solution and I have tested and tried various methods without luck. I am suspecting that I need some sort of knowledge on how to write a select query with where conditions that can apply to filtering out a record from one report to get another detailed on only one object (i.e. record). :/ Stupid or what?
.. either I am very stupid or the issue very difficult since no one is replying after 23 views on the post

Answer 1

Thank you Badri I am not used to using the forums and a little naive.
I am using Oracle 10g Express Edition with what I would suppose to be APEX application shell which makes it easy for me to work with the database.
Initial report is created this way:
select     "PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"."PROPERTYID_ID" as "PID",
"PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"."PROPERTYNAME" as "Name",
     "PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"."NOOFBEDS" as "Beds",
     "PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"."NOOFDOUBLEBEDS" as "Double-Beds",
     "PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"."NOOFROOMS" as "Rooms",
     "PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"."NOOFBATHROOMS" as "Bathrooms",
     "PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"."PLACE" as "Place",
     "PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"."COUNTRYID" as "Country",
     "PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"."STATEREGIONID" as "Region",
     "PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"."STARID" as "Stars"
from     "PROPERTYID_LOOKUP" "PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"
where upper(COUNTRYID) like '%' || upper(:P3_SEARCHCOUNTRY) || '%'
and upper(NOOFROOMS)>=upper(:P3_SEARCHROOM)
order by PROPERTYID_LOOKUP.NOOFBEDS ASC, PROPERTYID_LOOKUP.NOOFROOMS DESC, PROPERTYID_LOOKUP.NOOFDOUBLEBEDS DESC, PROPERTYID_LOOKUP.NOOFBATHROOMS DESC
(Never mind that I still am to refine the table - I am on an experiment level)
Then I have edited column attribute for the first column (PROPERTYID_ID) and called it PID and created a column link on it redirecting to a new page. In column link definitions I use :
Name
"PROPERTYID_LOOKUP"."PROPERTYID_ID"
Value
#PID#
after that redirecting to my page 42 which gives me report made out of:
SELECT * FROM PROPERTYID_LOOKUP WHERE PROPERTYID_ID='PID'
.. ofcourse I know this is not what I want since the outcome is wrong when I get all objects listed instead of the one record I clicked on.
I.e. said simple. I want to be able to click on that link in that report that comes out of my search filtered query and that link (when choosing only one record) will redirect me to my page42 where it will only show one detailed record on one object.
Ouch.. hope this was a better explanation.
