Using bind variables in a portal report

I'm using a portal 3.0.9 report with bind variables.
I also use LOV to let the user choose his own parameters for these variables.
When user click Apply on the customization form of the report, the selection is always "set to default"

Hi
Please go to customization part of the report and verify..You have set a default value out there ..And also verify your lov and look at the values ..If it is again giving you the problem ..pl delete the report and develop it again from the scratch it will be solved...

Using bind variables in Shared Component Reports not working

I've created a report query as a shared component in my APEX application. I'm calling the report on a page via a button. The query behind the report has bind variables for period and entity fields which are both defined on Page 0. I can run the query and return values just fine, but when you run the report from the page via the button, I get no values back. Does anyone know a trick to getting this to work? I've been working in APEX for about a month and I don't have much developer experience so any help is appreciated.
Regards,
-Steve

Rohit,
Thanks for your response. We are using APEX version 4.2.1.00.08. I do have Session State enabled and have put the required page items in the list. Here is my report query (highlighted lines contain the bind variables):
SELECT TAX_DIVISION.DIVISION_CODE Division,
TAX_ENTITY.ENTITY_CODE Entity_Code,
DECODE(TAX_ADJUSTMENT.CATEGORY_DESC,'Net Income/(Loss)',1,'Permanent Adjustment',2,'Temporary Adjustment',3,4) Category_Desc,
TAX_ADJUSTMENT.CLASSIFICATION Classification,
TAX_ADJUSTMENT.ADJUSTMENT_CODE Adjustment_Code,
SUM(NVL(NVL(TAX_ENTITY_ADJUSTMENT.OVERRIDE_AMT,TAX_ENTITY_ADJUSTMENT.ADJUSTMENT_AMT),0)) Tax_Amount
FROM TAX_DIVISION,
TAX_ENTITY,
TAX_ENTITY_ADJUSTMENT,
TAX_ADJUSTMENT,
TAX_PERIOD
WHERE TAX_DIVISION.DIVISION_ID = TAX_ENTITY.DIVISION_ID
AND TAX_ENTITY.ENTITY_ID = TAX_ENTITY_ADJUSTMENT.ENTITY_ID
AND TAX_ENTITY_ADJUSTMENT.ADJUSTMENT_ID = TAX_ADJUSTMENT.ADJUSTMENT_ID
AND TAX_ENTITY_ADJUSTMENT.PERIOD_ID = :P0_PERIOD_ID
AND TAX_ENTITY_ADJUSTMENT.YEAR_ID = :P0_YEAR_ID
AND TAX_ENTITY.DIVISION_ID = :P0_DIVISION_ID
AND TAX_ADJUSTMENT.ADJUSTMENT_CODE = 'IBIT'
GROUP BY TAX_DIVISION.DIVISION_CODE ,
TAX_ENTITY.ENTITY_CODE ,
DECODE(TAX_ADJUSTMENT.CATEGORY_DESC,'Net Income/(Loss)',1,'Permanent Adjustment',2,'Temporary Adjustment',3,4),
TAX_ADJUSTMENT.CLASSIFICATION ,
TAX_ADJUSTMENT.ADJUSTMENT_CODE
HAVING SUM(NVL(NVL(TAX_ENTITY_ADJUSTMENT.OVERRIDE_AMT,TAX_ENTITY_ADJUSTMENT.ADJUSTMENT_AMT),0)) !=0
ORDER BY DIVISION_CODE, DECODE(TAX_ADJUSTMENT.CATEGORY_DESC,'Net Income/(Loss)',1,'Permanent Adjustment',2,'Temporary Adjustment',3,4), CLASSIFICATION, ENTITY_CODE, ADJUSTMENT_CODE
The query returns data when I set the bind variables and test in the report queries screen. When I assign the report query URL to the button in the application and run from there, I get no results.

Using bind variables in user defined reports

How do I go about using a bind variable in a user defined report?
Here's a trivial example in SQL*Plus:
var ublocksize number
begin
select value into :ublocksize
from v$parameter
where name = 'db_block_size';
end;
select :ublocksize from dual;
This code does not work in raptor.
The error displayed is:
Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 1
Vendor code 17041
any ideas?

You also have a second issue of supporting the following syntax in SQL scripts:
var ublocksize number
begin
select value into :ublocksize
from v$parameter
where name = 'db_block_size';
end;
We are itterating to support all SQL plus commands

Report Using Bind Variables

Hey Everyone,
I'm having a bit of trouble creating a report. I need the FROM part of the code to use bind variables. I have come up with this peice of code below but im getting the following error:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 8:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "" when expecting one of the following:

The symbol "" was ignored.
ORA-06550: line 2, column 24:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "" when expecting one of the following:

Can anyone see where im going wrong?
Thanks in advance,

Hey Roel and Daylocks,
After getting frustrated for a while i deleted the page and started again. I put in the exact same code and it worked just how i wanted in the first place :S
The only thing i did different is when i was creating the report region the first time around i used a normal SQL query, For Example:
select sysdate from dual;
Then i modified it to
DECLARE
x VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
x := x || 'select ';*
x := x || 'from ';
x := x || :p14_schema;
x := x || '.ddl_log@';
x := x || :p14_db_name;
x := x || '_DBAAPEX.TNTEWW.COM';
RETURN (x);
END;
Whereas on the second attempt i used the peice of code in question straight away. Its been a bit of a frustrating morning because i used a similar peice of code for a different application, nevermind tho :)
Thanks for your replys, much appreciated.

How to use SYSDATE as a default value of a bind variable in a query report?

Hi,
I want to use SYSDATE as default value for a bind variable in Query based report.
I don't see any way to do it, someone helps?
Thanks a lot.
Paulo.

You can aslo use #sysdate directly.
Hi,
The way I'm doing in my report is, I have a database function (f_ret_sysdate) with the following code
create function f_ret_sysdate return varchar2
begin
return to_char(sysdate,'mm/dd/yyyy');
end;
Now, in the 'Customization Form Display Options' section of the report I'm calling this function as #f_ret_sysdate in the default value field of corresponding bind variable to display SYSDATE with the format.
Hope this helps!...

Use of variable to generate a report

Hi,
Can anyone help!
I've created a selection list with submit, which displays a list of applications, the return value is the name of the remote database table which holds exceptions associated to the chosen application. This is in a html region called Database Selection and the return is P4_APPLICATIONS (e.g. aps_monitor_excp_codes@eds.
I then have a report in a region called Exceptions which must used the supplied database name in the from. Here is the source, when I change the table variable back to a literal it works so the problem must be with how or where I'm using the variable.
declare
v_return varchar2(4000);
begin
v_return := 'Select SortOrder, ExceptionSequence, DateStamp, Priority, ProcessID, ExceptionCode, ShortMsg, FullDesc, ProcessName, ExceptionObject, ErrorDetails, Action, apex_item.checkbox(1,Acknowledged, decode(Acknowledged,''Y'',''CHECKED'',Null)) Acknowledged
from (SELECT upper(nvl(a.exception_acknowledged_yn,''N'')) SortOrder,
a.exception_sequence_number ExceptionSequence,
a.exception_timestamp DateStamp,
decode(b.priority, ''A'', ''HIGH'', ''B'', ''MEDIUM'', ''C'', ''LOW'', ''D'', ''INFO'', ''UNKNOWN'') Priority,
a.unix_pid ProcessID,
a.exception_code ExceptionCode,
htf.escape_sc(b.short_exception_message) ShortMsg,
htf.escape_sc(b.full_description) FullDesc,
a.process_name ProcessName,
a.exception_object ExceptionObject,
htf.escape_sc(a.exception_detail) ErrorDetails,
htf.escape_sc(b.action) Action,
upper(nvl(a.exception_acknowledged_yn,''N'')) Acknowledged
FROM :P4_APPLICATIONS a, monitor_excp_codes@eds b
WHERE a.exception_code = b.exception_code (+))
order by 1, 2 desc';
return v_return;
end;
Any help would be appreciated, if I have to ask my colleagues I'll get a blonde joke!
Thanks

You can't use bind variables in place of table names in SQL. Change it to:
...FROM ' || :P4_APPLICATIONS || 'a ...

Bind Variables and Shared Component Report Query

I have a query in a region report which I have replicated to a shared component report query.
Both queries reference page items as bind variables in the where clause.
The report region on screen shows the correct results but the report query shows "no data". This is the case when running "Test Query" and "Download XML data" from the shared component report query definition. If I hardcode the variable names I get rows returned, If I use bind variables - and specify the values for these variables I get no data. THe XML file contains the tags for each bind variable I have specified but has no data between the tags. I have Ticked the box to include application and session state but it appears that the bind variables are not being used.
When I use my report query in the application (URL tied to a button) I get the same problem, the binds are not being passed to the report query.
Can someone please clarify if this is a bug or not? And if not, how can I get it to work.
I am using Apex 4.0.2
Thanks
Kathryn

Hi
To confirm, yes I selected the bind variables. I used these in the report layout, but the xml file has them as empty i.e.
<P0_START_DATE><P0_START_DATE/> with nothing in between.
IN the Test Query section, if I put real values in the boxes for the bind variables, I get no data found. If I hardcode the values into the query, I get the data.
I've repeated the create report query many times and have created a report layout in RTF. I can use the layout with my region - in the print attributes and the layout works with the query but I need to create a PDF using 2 queries - ROWSET1 and ROWSET2. I can generate the XML but the values in the rows are all empty. When I use the layout with a report query instead of the region, I get no data even though I have used the same sql and have selected the bind variables. I was using variables from page items on page zero but have also tried using page items on the current page, the result is the same.
I need to use a report query and a report layout as I need data from 2 queries in the PDF.
I looked at your demo - what happens if you add a second sql query to the report query - is there any chance I can look at the back end (developer access?)
Thanks for your input

Csv no data found when using bind variables

Hi,
I have created a report, that uses 2 date variables to limit the query and rows display as they should. But clicking the csv link opens csv having one row stating 'No data found...'. If I set static values in place of variables, I get the right result. How could I use bind variables and get the right answer in csv (without coding my own function)?
Kaja

I am having the same problem.
The export link opens a new session without submitting the current page. The page item values are therefor not saved to cache before the export is undertaken.
Any report using page item bind variables in the where clause will not export correctly as the bind values are either null or those of the previous page submit.
Any ideas on how to get round this??

Using Bind Variables in Parameter Form's Query

I want to use bind variables in the query of Parameter form. But
it does not allows. What is the other way out. The structure of
my Parameter form is as under:
State:
Customer:
Now I want that I want to list only those customer in the
Customer LOV which belongs to the selected state.
Thanks.

Can we just link to an oracle form using a url still as we can with reports? I've built a report that requires the user to select from a dynamic list as well, and I know how to do this through forms, but can I simply call the form from a webpage?

Using bind variable in existsnode?

Is there a way to use bind variables in an XPath query?
SELECT sys_xmlagg(sys_xmlgen(xmlconcat(extract(value(x),'//title'),extract(value(x),'//description')))).transform(pkg_xslt_dao.getIndexContentXSLT).getClobVal() into v_html from iwgeneric x where existsnode(value(x),'//audiences[id="'|| p_audience_id_in ||'"]') = 1;
As you can see from the sql above, I am concatenating the parameter in the SQL. This SQL is wrapped in a PL/SQL function, which in turn will be called by a JSP.
Any help or advice is appreciated.

If you want to create this LOV in the standard parameter form of Oracle Reports, the answer is: no.
Create your own parameter form, e.g. in Oracle Forms if you are calling Reports from Forms.

Query don't use the right index when using bind variables

Hi people !
I need some help because I have an issue with a query that don t use the right Indexes as it should
First of all, I have mainly three tables :
ORDER : Table that contains description for each Order (approximately 1 000 000 Records)
ORDER_MVTS : Table that contains the tasks made (called movements) to set up each Orders
with quantity of packages prepared for each product (approximately 10 000 000 Records)
PRODUCT : Tables that contains the products (approximately 50 000 Records)
When I launch the query with hard coded values, it brings back response very fast
because it uses the right index (ORDER_DHR_VALID) which represent the date and hour of the order
(with format 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'). The selectivity for this index is good.
NB 1: I have to use the trick " >= Trunc(date) and < trunc(date) +1 " to filter on a simple date because
the index contains hour and minutes (I know it wasn't probably a bright idea at conception time).
NB 2: The index on ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE is'nt discriminating enough because there is'nt enough different products.
It's the same for index on CUSTOMER_CODE and on MVT_TYPE so only the index on ORDER.DHR_VALID is good.
Here is the correct explain plan when I execute the query with hard coded values :
SELECT SUM(ORDER_MVTS.NB_PACKAGE)
FROM ORDER_MVTS, PRODUCT, ORDER
WHERE ORDER.DHR_VALID >= TRUNC(to_date('14/11/2008 10:04:56','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))
AND ORDER.DHR_VALID < TRUNC(to_date('14/11/2008 10:04:56','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')) + 1
AND ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE
AND ORDER_MVTS.ORDER_CODE = ORDER.CODE
AND ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = 'ADIDAS'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = 1234
Rows Row Source Operation
1 SORT AGGREGATE
2 NESTED LOOPS
4 NESTED LOOPS
2 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378548) --> PRODUCT_PK
4 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER
777 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 378119) --> ORDER_DHR_VALID
2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER_MVTS
30 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 377784) --> ORDER_MVTS_ORDER_FK
Now the problem is when the query is used in a Cursor with bind variables.
It seems like Oracle don't use index on ORDER.DHR_VALID because he can't figure out that he have
to actually filter on a short period of time (only one day).
So Oracle uses the index on ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE which is'nt a bright idea (it takes 10 secondes instead of just one)
Here is the bad explain plan :
Rows Row Source Operation
1 SORT AGGREGATE
2 NESTED LOOPS
722 NESTED LOOPS
2 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378548) --> PRODUCT_PK
722 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER_MVTS
1790 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 377777) --> ORDER_MVTS_PRODUCT_FK
2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER
1442 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378439) --> ORDER_PK
Now I have found two solutions to this problem :
1) using a Hint to force the use of index on ORDER.DHR_VALID (with /*+ INDEX(ORDER ORDER_DHR_VALID) */ )
2) Using Dynamic SQL and keeping the date hard coded (but not the other values except mvt_type)
For example :
QUERY :=
'SELECT SUM(ORDER_MVTS.NB_PACKAGE)
FROM ORDER_MVTS, PRODUCT, ORDER
WHERE ORDER.DHR_VALID >= TRUNC(TO_DATE('''||To_char(P_DTE_VAL,'DD/MM/YYYY')||''',''DD/MM/YYYY'')) '||
AND ORDER.DHR_VALID < TRUNC(TO_DATE('''||To_char(P_DTE_VAL,'DD/MM/YYYY')||''',''DD/MM/YYYY'')) + 1 '||
AND ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE
AND ORDER_MVTS.ORDER_CODE = ORDER.CODE
AND ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = :CUSTOMER
AND PRODUCT.CODE = :CODE ';
These two solutions work but Number 1 is bad in theory because it uses a Hint
and Number 2 may be difficult to code.
So my question is : Does someone knows another solution to force the use of index ORDER_DHR_VALID that can be simple and reliable.
Thank you very much for support

What version of oracle you have? CBO work is different in 9i and 10g.
Usually cost based optimizer do not want to use index for >< condition with binding variables because optimizer can not use statistic to determine selectivity, and by default selectivity of <> operators is low.
(As I remember '>' selectivity by default is 5%, you have two conditions > and <, therefore resulting selectivity will be 0.05*0.05=0.0025 as two independent events, but selectivity of other conditions
ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY' or ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = 'ADIDAS' looks much better for CBO)
The best solution I see is do not use binding variables. Actually your query looks as searching query, which executes not so often, therefore you will not have perfomance win along of skipping execution plan creation.

Using Bind Variable in a SELECT

Hi,
I'm trying to build up my SQL query at run-time using bind variables and in the Oracle® Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) it says that 'After defining the bind variables, the next step is to reference them in the SQL statement. While SQL syntax allows bind variables to appear both in the SELECT list and in the WHERE clause, you'll typically use them in the latter context, as part of your WHERE clause.'.
However, when I try to use the bind variables in my SELECT list because I've had to set a type for the variable to String the variable gets inserted with inverted commas either side e.g. SELECT 'Service' FROM TestTable. Is it possible to use bind variables to insert a value into my select list without these inverted commas around it?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

OK, thanks for your response. Do you know of a way then where I can control my SELECT parameters programmatically? I'm currently trying to do it using the information in the chapter '35.9 Using Programmatic View Objects for Alternative Data Sources' from the Oracle® Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). I think I'm part way there, would this be the correct way of acheiving what I want?
Cheers, Tom

Using bind variable with IN clause

My application runs a limited number of straight up queries (no stored procs) using ODP.NET. For the most part, I'm able to use bind variables to help with query caching, etc... but I'm at a loss as to how to use bind variables with IN clauses. Basically, I'm looking for something like this:
int objectId = 123;
string[] listOfValues = { "a", "b", "c"};
OracleCommand command = new OracleCommand();
command.Connection = conn;
command.BindByName = true;
command.CommandText = @"select blah from mytable where objectId = :objectId and somevalue in (:listOfValues)";
command.Parameters.Add("objectId", objectId);
command.Parameters.Add("listOfValues", listOfValues);
I haven't had much luck yet using an array as a bind variable. Do I need to pass it in as a PL/SQL associative array? Cast the values to a TABLE?
Thanks,
Nick
