To use SQL form 3.0

Hi,
For this version, is it OK for using 'set_block_property'? I remember that we should use another command instead of such. How about that?
Thks & Rgds,
HuaMin

What have you tried so far, and what error did you get?
DECLARE
buffer VARCHAR2(100);
status INTEGER;
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line('This is');
dbms_output.put_line('a test.');
dbms_output.get_line(buffer, status);
END;

About using SQL form 3.0

Dear all,
For that we can edit the trigger text in Trigger definition with sql form 3.0 designer, how to copy & paste the trigger text?
Rgds,
Edward

Use the 'End' key to create a highlight box then use the arrow keys to enlarge your highlight selection. Press 'F1' to copy then use the 'Insert' key to paste your selection.

Development integration with SQL*Forms

Dear All:
I do work for Intergraph and have a custommer who is asking about any development (like an OCX) for developing SQL*Forms with the help of that OCX (or whatever available tool) from the inside of our "object oriented Automation Server" called Geomedia, which is a GIS (geographic information system). The thing is that they want to use SQL*Forms from Geomedia in order to develop and customize the interface of their tabular data capture modules, keeping the aspect of their outside (standalone) system, developed with SQL*Forms. Is it possible? Is there any thing available for that?
Thanks in advance for your help and comment,

I think the answer to your question is going to be no, but can you explain your requirements in detail? I don't understand what you want to do.

Using Oracle Forms Importing Data From SQL Server into Oracle Tables.

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Forms 10g in windows XP and having OAS 10g and Oracle database 9i.
How can we import data from SQL Server 2005 into Oracle tables using Oracle Forms?
Thanks & Regards
Eidy

I have no idea what "Oracle Hetrogenius Services" is, so I can't help you with that, sorry.
SQL Developer might also assist you. SQL Developer can connect to SQL Server as well as Oracle and has some tools for migration. See the documentation for details:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/doc.150/e12156/toc.htm
For additional help on using SQL Developer for this task, please consult Support or the SQL Developer forum: SQL Developer
Hope this helps,

Using a form control (textbox) as an SQL Server parameter

Hi
i am trying to use a form textbox control to filter an SQL query but i do not know how to do this. In fairness, im from an Access background originally and can easily do it in Access lol.
Is it better to connect to the SQL database using code and create an SQL string to get / set data? if so? how can i do that?
or
do i use a table adapter which is my current method but i do not know how to integrate a text control as a query parameter.
for reference-
Query = SQL Server View (Same as access Database Query)
Thanks for any help

Hi nmjShaw,
I wrote a sample about how to integrate a text control as query parameter in vb.net.
Dim conn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection()
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Database2.accdb"
Try
Dim sql As String = "SELECT * FROM tbl_user WHERE username = @username"
Dim dt As New DataTable()
Dim sqlCom As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand(Sql, conn)
'Open Database Connection
sqlCom.Parameters.AddWithValue("@username", TxtControl.Text)'integrate text control as parameter here
sqlCom.Connection = conn
conn.Open()
Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, conn)
da.Fill(dt)
' Then you could use the dt.
conn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Error:" & ex.Message)
End Try
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

hello there,
I need help in creating tables in Oracle using Forms Developer 6/6i without using SQL*Plus interface.
your help is appreciated
email: [email protected]

please use Forms_ddl package to create a table dynamically
from the Developer6/6i.
you can check the success or failure by using the

Need help, Trouble in uploading records using sql loader in Forms 6i

Hi,
I am trying to develop a screen for uploading records to a table by using a ctl file, batch file and sql loader.
Env: Forms 6i, Oracle 8
Table to be updated is: shy_upload_table
My TSN entry looks similar to this,
TEST_AXA.CNB.COM =

(CONNECT_DATA =

My intention is whenever i press the upload_button, I should truncate the table and upload it with the contents of the file.
In the when-button-pressed event of the upload_button I have the following code. always I am able to truncate the table but am not able to upload it with the contents of the file. Can any of you help me fix this problem ?

Hi Francois,
Thanks for responding, I am not very sure of what you want me to try out.
When I double click the batch file containing the below, the record gets inserted in the table. Only when using my form and trying to upload, it fails to insert the record.

Default form value using sql with bind variable

I wish to create a form based upon a table with a foreign key. I wish to add a field to the form that is an uneditable text field with a default value using sql of 'select name from other_table where other_table_id = ?' where ? is a bind variable defined by a hidden field which is the value of the foreign key identified at runtime. How can this be done?
null

I don't think that will work. I have multiple people accessing the Portal at the same time with the same login (or lack of as public will be the most common user). I could set it easily enough as the value is passed to the form by a link object, so I could add it to the before page plsql block and set the value. But I am uncertain how it will behave in a multi-user mutlitasking environment.
Maybe I should describe what I am looking to accomplish. I want to create a display above a form that will list static details from other tables (i.e. when editing a user's phone number, which is in one table, you want the user to see the person's name, which is in another table, and the form is based upon the phone table) ...
Just as I am thinking about it, I thought of an idea. I could put some specific code in the before displaying page plsql section to query the database and use htp to output the information for data not in the table the form is based upon. I will try this and see how it works. It would have been nice to have just created a field that is not editable and had a default value, but this should work as well.
Let me know if you see any problem with this or if you have any better suggestions.
Thanks for the fast response.

ORACLE Password Change using APEX FORM

Greetings!
I would like to find out, if there is a utility or a sample page that permits the Database password changes for the DB users within the Database. My goal is for users to maintain password using the Browser, instead of using SQL*Plus or similar Windows tools
Thanks in advance for your help!
Muni

So if you and I can both authenticate to this application, we will necessarily have separate accounts, say in the Application Express account repository of that application's workspace. Our accounts will each have a password that is not synchronized with our database account password. The application will allow me (SCOTT) to change only the database account named SCOTT and will allow you (VIKAS) to change only the database account named VIKAS. That rule would make it unnecessary for the provided form to provide an input field for the database account name (it would be pre-populated). Unfortunately, the chosen authentication method requires each of us to remember our application password, and, if the application is built correctly, to remember our old database password as well. (Implementing that verification has its own issues.) If the application used LDAP then a mapping table would be needed to relate [email protected] to VIKAS. Every time a new database user needed the self-service password facility, a new user account (and a new password), and a new mapping table entry would have to be created. All of that complexity is eliminated if the application uses Database Account credentials authentication -- a new database user is created, the user can authenticate to the application and use it; the database user is removed, the user can no longer authenticate.
Let's not confuse the aim of providing a self-service "change my database password" application (the original requirement) with the simpler task of providing a super-user-oriented database account management page (like we did in XE).

1st scenario
When in a runtime, it's keep appear a dialog box. This dialog box ask me to suppy Server, User ID, Password and Database. Once all information is supplied, my report display the data as expected
2nd scenario
I change my report using OLE DB (ADO) -> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server -> checked on Integrated Security. I just choose Server, and Database. I assume me using Windows Authentication
When in a runtime, there's no dialog box as above. My report display the data as expected. really cool
Look's like, when report using SQL Server Authentication there's some problem. but, when report using Windows Authentication, it's fine.
I'm looking for comment. Please help me

Hello,
MS SQL Server 2008 requires you to install the MS Client Tools for 2008.
Once install then update all of your reports to use the SQL Native 10 as the OLE DB driver.
The try again, if it still fails search, lots of sample log on code in this forum.

Connect to the database and execute four SQL INSERT/UPDATE statements as a single unit of work. The fact that you have one form shouldn't be an issue.
I'll bet you're having trouble because you haven't layered the problem either in code or in your mind.
I'd recommend that you write a POJO to take in some objects and execute the SQL. Once you have that running successfully you can worry about the form. Decouple the two.

To use SQL or to not use SQL ..... That is the question

A couple of posts lately have brought something to my attention that I wanted to discuss between the folks that view this forum because I believe it is important. I highly value the opinions of many of the members here so I think getting your insight would not only benefit me, but many other forum members as well.
This discussion stems from two posts:
{message:id=3786432} (Billy)
...The question that you need to ask yourself is why use such a technique? For rendering the data a specific way in the client? Well, rendering data is NOT a SQL function and in essence a result of ignorance of how to correctly use client-server. Rendering on the client is dealt with by the client itself. Using SQL to do it.. not only nasty (as many of these examples above are), but also far from optimal and efficient SQL. And in most cases, will not scale. Increase the data volume of the table queried and there will be a hefty performance knock as SQL is incorrectly used.
...>
{message:id=3914362} (Sven W.)
...For the Pivot considerations. It is usually much better not to try to do this inside the database. If you think about it. The data itself can be fetch from the database very easily. To do a PIVOT is a kind of GUI/Layout representation for this data. This should be done in the GUI Layer.
>
I tried to respond to the thread Billy posted in, so I'll cut and paste my response here:
Discussion
Where do we as database developers draw the line between the correct use of SQL or not? Or between rendering on the client and just returning data?
Now with LISTAGG, PIVOT and UNPIVOT all available to us would these be considered correct uses of SQL?
Where does this leave the TO_CHAR function? Is this considered rendering?
I'm fully expecting a fuzzy answer with something along the lines of "do the work where it makes the most sense" from a ease of development and maintainability perspective but I just wanted to ask.
Hopefully this is a valuable discussion.
Thanks!

Let me give a simple example. You can store images in a table as a LOB. You can serve these images to a web browser client via mod_plsql.
However, the data is static. It requires I/O (and some hefty ones for larger images). What is the biggest performance penalty we have in Oracle? I/O? What is affected by doing I/O to read these images? The buffer cache (which will age out other data in the cache).
Where else can we store this data? The web server. At what cost to the performance of Oracle? None. Impact on web server? Heck, web servers are designed at their very core to do this!
So where is the best place to storage static images in this specific case? Not the database, but the web server.
Now simply extend this concept to the client - where is the best place to render data?
Should the data be formatted for rendering (e.g. converted into HTML) in the database layer, or should it rather be done in the presentation layer?
Now I can already hear the argument that the former is exactly what we are doing using APEX. We create dynamic HTML pages on the Oracle server side and then dish that up to the rendering layer to display.
Two issues that need to be considered. Firstly, this is not done using SQL. This is done using a procedure language called PL/SQL - not using native SQL. PL/SQL in this case is used exactly as Java or PHP or Perl or any other "+app layer+" language would be used. It only happens that PL/SQL resides in the database too. But do not mistake it for what it really is - the application layer.
The second issue drives home the point that even in 3 tier client server, the application layer is not the best place to do the formatting for the rendering layer. Web 2.0 aka AJAX.. Where the app layer delivers a dynamic rendering engine (as Javascript) to the rendering layer. After which rendering and formatting are done solely inside that rendering layer. And interaction between that and the app layer is requests for new/fresh data to be rendered.
Why is AJAX becoming so popular? Key issues and concepts like performance, and a rich client interface and so on.
This all points that the fundamental principle of using the rendering layer to do its thing and using the SQL layer to do its (separate and different) thing, still holds true.
Yes, we may not always stick to this principle - as we do with doing the rendering (creating HTML) in PL/SQL using APEX for example.. but this is not because the principle is unsound. It is because of technology reasons (different browsers, different behaviour), lack of support for W3C standards (hello IE) and so on.
It is only recently that these problem areas have been meaningfully addressed.. and why rendering frameworks like extJS is the (rendering layer) future of 3 tier client server.
If the concept of using SQL to perform rendering and formatting had any substance.. then there would have been a lot of resistance to AJAX for example. The reverse is true.. as we all want to use SQL to do SQL and want the rendering layer to do its thing without us having to code in SQL to specifically support rendering and formatting. It is clunky. It slows down the SQL (every formatting function is a tiny overhead that adds up). It does not bode well for maintenance and changes to the presentation layer. And all those tiny overheads can spell doom for scalability.
I do not see any gray lines here, or a question of "+opinion+", or "+it depends+". The architecture is clear. The fundamentals are sound.
The real issue is how we choose to apply these. But (the "+incorrect+") application (of these fundamentals) does not invalidate the fundamentals.

Generating web PL/SQL Form header (MODSHD) including modulename

Hi all,
I want to generate a WEB PL/SQL form using a template.
The call to the stored function goes fine. I call package.function which returns a string, that is displayed. So far so good...
However, I want to display the name of the Module (or some other variable from Designer).
Can I pass that in some way to the function?
Thanks,
Rob

Never mind, I got it. Thanks i also have that problem. please send me your code.
