Using ANSI sql in forms 9i triggers

hi,
could use some help here please!
I am getting errors when trying to compile triggers in forms 9i against a 9i DB which include cursors or sql select's which are written using the ANSI join syntax.
example:
declare
cursor cur_test is
select dual1.dummy "dual1", dual2.dummy "dual2"
from (dual dual1 inner join dual dual2 on dual1.dummy = dual2.dummy);
begin
null;
end;
when I try and compile I get error message "103" which seems to think that the SQL is not valid. If I put the same statements into recordgroups they will compile, and they run via SQL*Plus OK.
versions are:
Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.2.9.0 (Production)
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Oracle Toolkit Version 9.0.4.0.23 (Production)
PL/SQL Version 9.0.1.3.1 (Production)
Oracle Procedure Builder V9.0.2.0.7 Build #1022 - Production
database: 9.2.0.1.0
Any ideas?!
thanks,
Pete

If you remember that Sybase and MS worked together on SQLServer. Version 6.5 was pretty much the same database server. MS then built version 7.0 leaving Sybase behind. They added ANSI standard joins to their db. What did they get? PROBLEMS. Every patch contained fixes for ANSI standard joins. Even SQLServer 2000 has problems with it.
Oracle now trys to follow MS and add ANSI joins to their database. What did it give them? BUGS. Remember this one?
select * from sys.role$ cross join dual

Use standard joins and not ANSI joins. That will solve this problem.

Using pl/sql in forms to access rs232 information

Does anyone know how to capture information receved from serial port (example: serial code) using pl/sql with forms.
THX.

What you need is a 3rd party comm ocx or ole
control like SAXCOMM,PDQCOMM etc.
Once this is loaded on your machine , then using forms goto the programs "import OLE libray interfaces" option and load the commms control you are using. You must choose the events and methods. Once this is done then the programme units should be updated with the procs (methods) you can call.
I hope this helps.

Using Dynamic SQL in Forms

Does anyone know anything about Dynamic SQL not being available in Forms v. 6.0.8.11.3? I trying to use Dynamic SQL for the first time and am having some difficulty. When I try to put my SQL in a function and run it straight into the database through SQLPlus, it works fine, but when trying to compile the code in Forms Builder (in a library), I get compiler errors. Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks!
Vanessa

When I tried to compile the following code in Forms, the compiler error I got was Encountered the symbol "STMT_STR" when expecting one of the following: select. However, when I run it in SQLPlus, it creates the function without any errors.
FUNCTION my_func
return number
is
TYPE DiaryCurTyp IS REF CURSOR;
cur DiaryCurTyp;
stmt_str VARCHAR2(200);
dmonth NUMBER;
dday NUMBER;
BEGIN
stmt_str := 'SELECT dmonth, dday FROM p2_diary
WHERE dmonth = :1';
OPEN cur FOR stmt_str USING '12';
LOOP
FETCH cur INTO dmonth, dday;
EXIT WHEN cur%NOTFOUND;
-- <process data>
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
END;

Flow accept error when using ANSI join syntax

Hi
I had a region populated by a query joining two views (one in-line using connect by). When trying to create the region if the join was coded using ANSI syntax (INNER JOIN .... USING) I got a flow accept error when either trying to proceed using the wizard, or apply changes when editing the region.
After changing to the old style Oracle join (using predicates), I was able to create the region and everything worked ok. I found the solution after reading this post Error 404 wwv_flow.accept was not found in which the OP says he would raise a bug. Did the bug get raised? I ask since his problem arose whilst he was selecting from a view using ANSI joins and using instead of triggers, and I was joining an in-line view to a view using ANSI joins and instead of triggers, but neither view has been changed, just the join syntax. The view defined in the database is used in other regions and works fine. This could indicate the OP's problem was fixed, but one still exists.
Incidentally this is the only time I have used non-ANSI joins in the entire apex app - the rest work!. Unfortunately it is impossible for me to demo the app.

using ApEx 3.0.1.00.07 and 10g (10.2.0.1) EE on Wintel

Tyler,
Apologies, what I was trying to say was that I couldn't put the application on the Oracle APEX site.
Yes, I do have a work-around, but that does not mean a bug may still exist. I count myself fortunate I saw that post and, therefore, experimented with the syntax of the join - there is no reason APEX should not accept ANSI join conditions, in fact , it does. The ANSI-joined SQL statement executed perfectly in TOAD and SQL*Plus, but I could not even save it in APEX.

is there any better way?
thanksCan you run this in a session please:
ALTER SESSION set optimizer_dynamic_sampling = 4;Then run an explain plan again.
And you have a function in there - PKG_FW_NVGTR.FN_GET_ARRAY_FROM_COMMA_LIST - which isn't helping things.

Search option using a new small window in oracle forms using pl/sql

Hai Friend,
Iam Navya Jeevan,regarding Oracle Forms and Reports Doubts.
Our project is developed using Forms and Reports
In Forms for triggers we are using Pl/SQl language.
DOUBT
IN a form we require an option like search button when we press the search button a small window must be opened.This window should contain details from database(ie an entire column of database,must be displayed in the window ) and the user selects the value from the window.

How to upload files from a form using pl/sql ?

Hi
Is it possible to upload the physical files outside the database (under UNIX server)using pl/sql? I already know how to store the files inside the database(wwwdoc_documents$) but I didn't find any documentation about storing the physical files outside the database.
I have in my form the following component:
<input type="file" name="upload">
and I want to let the user browse for the file on his/her disc that he want to use. What I want to do next is to save a copy of that file on our file-server, and then use it in my application. How do I do that in pl/sql?
Any help will be appreciated.
Sebas.

Thanks for the suggestion. I like this approach as Java is more familiar to me than other languages.
Our DBA is out of touch today, so I could not grant the javauserpriv to my database user. I tried to run the script anyway in the chance that my user had the privs, and it seemed to have hung. I am now combing Oracle's site for more documentation so I can write some tests to see if I can get a basic Java object working. Under what heading would I find this?

Using dynamic sql in triggers with :OLD values

i need to record all deleted rows from an entire schema in a single table. for that matter i created a function that receives a table name and generate an insert command according to it's primary key columns. i call this function in the table triggers. in order to insert the old values before the delete i use :OLD with "execute immediate" as followed :
create or replace trigger trg_some_tbl_bd
before delete on some_tbl
for each row is
declare
v_sql varchar2(4000);
begin
v_sql := generate_insert_command('some_table');
execute immediate v_sql;
end;
the return value from "generate_insert_command" function is the string:
insert into deleted_table (table_name , date , pk1 , pk2) values
('some_table' , sysdate , :OLD.pk1 , :OLD.pk2)
the execute immediate command notice the :OLD and looks for bind variables.
i need to know i can i bypass that. i tried looking for escape characters but couldent find any...
i would appriciate any help , it's kynda urgent
Thanks !

I don't believe this is going to work. Even if you could get around the fact that :old looks like a bind variable, the :old values are not visible to the dynamic SQL statement, they're like local variables in that respect.
If you wanted to pass old values in, those values would have to be passed in as bind variables, i.e.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql USING :old.pk1, :old.pk2which defeats the purpose of using dynamic SQL.
Since you have to create a trigger for each table, I don't see why you would bother with dynamic SQL inside the trigger-- your table structure is fixed when the trigger is created. You could write dynamic SQL that generated the triggers in the first place, but the code inside the trigger should be dynamic.
As an aside, you realize that logging every audit record into a single table creates rather massive contention issues, right? And have you considered how painful it is to query this sort of table? Have you considered other options for maintaining history like Workspace Manager? Or at least separate history tables for each table?

How I can create dynamically-formed requests or use native SQL in EJB?

Hi all.
I'm working around modify an example from NetWeaver Developer Studio (CarRental). I want to get ordered data from table and allow users to specify the ordering field, not in the code. EJB QL doesn't support dynamically-formed queries like "select object(b) from QuickBooking b where b.status like ?1 order by b.<b>?2</b>" so i can't passing field name as parameter into query. Creating a sorting method for every field is not good solution because I need a dynamically-formed requests.
I think using native SQL will help but I don't know how I can use SQL in EJB.
Thanks,
Lev

Then, in your method

Urgent HELP required on forming the Matrix of data using PL/SQL

Hi All,
I'm new to this thread and require your urgent help in this regard.
I've got a requirement for building a 5000 X 5000 matrix using PL/SQL. My original data tables have 5000 rows each and I need to do a correlation analysis using this data and need to store in a physical table and not in-memory. Is this feat achievable using mere PL/SQL? I understand that Oracle DB has a limitation of 1000 columns(but not sure) and hence I'd like to know whether there is any work-around for such scenarios. If not, what are the other alternative method(s) to achieve this feat? Do I need to use any 3rd party tools to get this done? An early reply from the experts is highly appreciated.
Thanking you all Gurus in advance.

Welcome to OTN!
I'll get to your quesiton in a moment, but first some welcome information. Many OTN posters consider it impolite to mark threads as "urgent". We are volunteers and have jobs of our own to do without people we don't know making demands. You are brand new and deserve some patience but please understand this. It is very likely before I finish this post someone will complain about the word "urgent" in your subject.
On to more interesting things :)
You can do the matrix, but are out of luck with a 5000 x 5000 table because Oracle only allows 1000 columns per table. There are ways to work around this.
How do do the matrix depends on what you want to do. You can do this different ways. You can create a table beforehand and use PL/SQL or simple SQL to populate it, or use the CREATE TABLE AS syntax to create and populate it in one step if you can get the underlying SQL to work the way you want, something like
create table my_table as
select a.*, b.*
from table1 a, table2 bcan populate a matrix from 2 tables with an intentional cartesian join (the WHERE clause was left out intentionally, provided your data is already in the data base.
If not you can use a PL/SQL routine to populate the data.
There are a couple of ways to solve the 1000 column limit. The easiest way might be to have 5 collections of 1000 columns each. A more complicated but more elegant soltion would be to have nested collections, allowing 2 colliections that you can loop through - a collection of collections. Nested collections can be hard to work with. A third way would be to use nested tables in the database but I personally do not like them and the insert, update, and delete statements for nested tables are hard to use.
I'm not going to give a code example because I am not sure which solution is best for you. If you have further questions post them.

How to use PL/SQL & Forms6i for a logon screen

i am new user to oracle. just wanna now how to create a user logon screen using SQL and Forms6i. well, i have created a table for logon with data item of username and password. in the form, i hava successfully created the data blocks but i don't know how to link them using PL/SQL or triggers or etc.
ur concern will be very grateful. TQ.

Hi MatrixMan
Just create button and write the follwing inside
trigger when_button_pressed :\
begin
logout;
LOGON(:USER_NAME,:PASSWORD );
IF FORM_SUCCESS THEN
MESSAGE('Login Successful');
MESSAGE('Login Successful');
ELSE
MESSAGE('Check username or password');
MESSAGE('Check username or password');
GO_ITEM('USER_NAME');
:USER_NAME:=NULL;
:PASSWORD:=NULL;
END IF;
end;
Thanks

Future support for using PL/SQL core business logic with ADF BC

We want to migrate our large Forms client/server (6i) application to ADF, possibly using a migration tool like Ciphersoft Exodus.
One scenario could be to use ADF BC and ADF-Faces or a different JSF-Implementation for presentation and business layer but keep our heavy PL/SQL-businesslogic inside the Oracle database in packages, triggers, functions and procedures.
This scenario could be chosen due to the huge amount of interconnected logic inside the database (10 years of development; no technical components; any package may access any table and more of this kind of dependencies). The business logic nowadays held in Forms client will be moved mainly into the database as a prerequisite to this scenario.
Choosing this "keep-logic-in-DB"-scenario we need a good support by ADF BC to do so. We know and prototyped that it is possible to call some PL/SQL via JDBC from ADF BC and it is possible to use stored procedure calls for standard business entity data access (ins, del, upd, ..). But this does not solve our problems. We want to reuse core business logic coded in PL/SQL. This is much more than change the ADF standard behavior for an update with an own PL/SQL-call.
Now my question:
Will there be a kind of sophisticated support to use ADF BC in combination with database-kept logic?
If so, when will this happen and how will the common problems of transactional state inside the database and inside the ADF BC be solved? Any plans or ideas yet?
Many other clients do have similar applications built in Forms and PL/SQL and would be glad to hear about a path of direction.
I've read the technical article 'understanding the ADF BC state management feature' which you have contributed to. One current limitation is pointed out there: Using PL/SQL with ADF BC limits ADF AM pooling to 'restricted level' which reduces scalability.
Are you aware of additional main problems/tasks to solve when using PL/SQL heavily with ADF BC, which we have to think about?
Thank you for any response.
Ingmar

My main problem is two 'concurrent' areas holding state in an application system based on DB-stored PL/SQL-logic in combination with ADF BC.
For a new System everything can be made ok:
Sure, it is possible to build a new system with the business logic included in ADF BC only. All long-living state will be handled in the BC layer ( including support for UnitsOfWork longer than the webside short HTTP-requests and HTTP-sessions and longer than the database transactions.
For an old system these problems arise:
1. DB data changes not reflected in BC layer:
Our PL/SQL-logic changes data in tables without notifying the ADF BC layer (and its cache). To keep the data in ADF BC entity objects identical to the changed database content a synchronization is needed. BC does not know which part of the application data has been changed because it has not initiated the changes through its entity objects. Therefore a full refresh is needed. In a Forms4GL environment the behavior is similar: We do frequently requeries of all relevant (base)tables after calling database stored logic to be sure to get the changed data to display and to operate on it.
-> Reengineering of the PL/SQL-logic to make the ADF BC layer aware of the changes is a big effort (notifying BC about any change)
2. longer living database transactions
Our PL/SQL-logic in some areas makes use of lengthy database transactions. The technical DB-transaction is similar to the UnitOfWork. If we call this existing logic from ADF BC, database state is produced which will not be DB-committed in the same cycle.
This reduces scalability of ADF BC AM pooling.
Example:
a) Call a DB-stored logic to check if some business data is consistent and prepare some data for versioning. This starts a DB-transaction but does not commit it.
b) Control is handed back to the user interface. Successful result of step a) is displayed
c) User now executes the versioning operation
d) Call another DB-stored logic to execute the versioning. DB-transaction is still open
e) Business layer commits the transaction automatically after successful finishing step d). Otherwise everything from a) to e) is rolled back.
-> redesign of this behavior (= cutting the 1to1 relation between LogicalUnitOfWork and the technicalDatabaseTransaction is a big effort due to the big amount of code.

Disable Html button in validation process using pl/sql

Hi,
I need to disable a html page button. It gets re-enabled afer a validation process is run on the page and errors for the form are returned. I need a way of writing a validation process using pl/sql returning boolean, that can disable the button again.
I've tried:
IF lname > 0 THEN
Return TRUE;
Else
htp.p('<script type="text/javascript">');
htp.p('document.getElementById("NEW_ENTRY").disabled=true');
htp.p('</script>');
Return FALSE;
End If;
The button id is NEW_ENTRY, but this is ignored and the buttons remains enabled.
Any ideas on how to change the code to work?

You have to create after region process that will be triggered on some condition.
htp.p('
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("NEW_ENTRY").disabled="true";
</script>
');
