What is the correct syntax to run a procedure in SQL Workshop

I have a procedure I want to test in SQL Workshop in APEX. It has one argument but I don't know the syntax to include the argument. I have put
begin download_attached_files;
end;
how do I manually assign a number to this procedure?
( i.e this doesn't work:
begin download_attached_files=43; end;)

Hi,
Try:
BEGIN
EXECUTE download_attached_files(43);
END;Andy

What is the correct syntax for using a variable in an ad hoc query?

Hi all
I am an occasional DB user and at the moment need to update about 1000+ records so that a certain column gets a unique value.
So I thought that I would use a variable for this.
I then built this kind of SQL statement for just a small subset of the records:
variable recNumber number;
exec :recNumber := 1;
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + recNumber
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
I get the invalid SQL statement error when attempting to execute above (besides the prompt that asks for a value which I would like to omit).
Anyway I also tried this one:
CREATE SEQUENCE seqCounter;
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + seqCounter.NEXTVAL
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
From this one I got the error ORA-01722: invalid number...I am guessing this comes because seqCounter is of type number and the COL_TO_BE_UPD is of type character...(?)
So what I would like to ask is what is the correct way to define and use a counter type of variable to append a number at the end of a character string?
Also another question that I would like to ask is that are variables that are used in ad hoc queries also called 'bind variables'?
Thanks muchly

If you want to append a unique number to a column then this would do it:
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD ||to_char(rownum)
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');

What is the correct Syntax to export to SWF using VBScript

I am trying to export to swf using Indesign Server but i'm struggling to find the correct syntax using VBScript
can someone point me in the correct direction or maybe give me this info?
Thanks in advance
Tom

Malcolm,
Just string the keywords in a row, and let 'er rip.
The Store used to have a more sophisticated search capability known as Power Search, which allowed fielded entry. But it seems to have disappeared a few releases ago.

What's the correct syntax for this?

Hey guys
If...
trace(rowsHolder.getChildByName("mc"+newStr).y);
...correctly outputs the y coordinate of (in this case) mc001, how do I output the y coordinate of a movieClip called item_base_mc that's within the timeline of mc001?
trace(rowsHolder.getChildByName("mc"+newStr).item_base_mc.y);
...gives me a display object error.
I've tried permutations of the above with [] brackets in various places, but haven't cracked the code.
What would be the correct way to write it?
Thanks for taking a look.
Shaun

I don't know how to really explain this, but from documentation you will notice - getChildByName() - is actually a function from - DisplayObject - not MovieClip.
Link here provides a better explanation!

Trying to run simple procedure in SQL Workshop

Hello,
I'd like to test how procedures work and APEX so I setup a simple one that I'd like to run in SQL Workshop (below). I try the follow to execute the procedure:
begin
MY_TEST_PROC;
end;
But it results in the following error:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 1:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'MY_TEST_PROC'
ORA-06550: line 2, column 1:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
I've spelled the procedure name correctly, and there are no input parameters required. Why is it erring?
Steve
Procedure:
create or replace procedure "MY_TEST_PROC"
*(p_contract_number OUT VARCHAR2)*
is
begin
select
contract_number
into
p_contract_number
from contracts
where id='5';
end;

dbms_output will display a variable's contents. I don't recall if you need set serveroutput on for APEX SQL Workshop or not (I don't have it up right now)
set serveroutput on size 1000000
declare
result varchar2(4000);
begin
MY_TEST_PROC(result);
dbms_output.put_line('My proc result = '||result);
end;The documentation for all the variations of development (11gR2) is here: http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.portal_db?selected=5&frame= It can be overwhelming starting out. Since you are jumping into stored procedures with APEX, I suggest starting with the 2-day developers guide, then the PL/SQL Language Reference.

What's the correct syntax for animate scale

I have tried to animate the scale transformation of an object from code.
I had a little success with the code from here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5029035/how-do-we-add-css-animation-in-jquery
But animating the scale looks jerky on the iPad with this hack.
There must be an option of doing it from within Edge since a timeline animation which does the same (just transform scale of an object over time) runs smooth.
I know there are jQuery extensions for things like that but I don't want to interfere with anything Edge does itself.
Can someone give me a hint what syntax I need for animating the scale of an object within Edge?

Hi Bittamer,
There is no built-in code to animate objects. If you don't want to use the CSS scale code, you can use jQuery animate to animate the width and height props of your object, like so:
sym.yourHeight = 500;
sym.yourWidth = 500;
sym.$("your_symbol").animate({height:sym.yourHeight, width:sym.yourWidth}, 500, 'swing');

What is the correct syntax to have the report log into different databases?

Hi,
My current Oracle Reports are called against several databases, depending on region. I pass 'userid=reports/new1@tsoc' as one of teh parameters to access the 'tsoc' db. I just as well call 'userid=reports/new1@penang'.
This syntax does not appear to work when placed in the BI Publisher URL as follows:
http://seerus04.soco.agilent.com:9704/xmlpserver/emerald/tutorial/tutorial.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=0&_xdo=%2Femerald%2Ftutorial%2Ftutorial.xdo&_xt=tutorial&_xf=html&_xmode=0&userid=reports/[email protected]
Thn in advance,
Gary

Jorge,
I have 11 databases in different regions. Oracle Reports allows me to pass in the database I wish to connect to.
This is extremely pertinent to my evaluation as I cannot justify having 11 seperate instances for each of my reports.
If what you say is true, I would consider BIP a poor subsitute for Oracle Reports.
Thx,
Gary

What is the correct syntax for Sumif when condition is for a text string?

B2 and b3 both contain the text "Grc".
C2 contains 1 and C3 contains 2.
F2 contains a Sumif that reads as: =SUMIF(B2:B10, "=Grc", C2:C10)
The result is "0" when it should yield 3
I can't figure out what happened.

Your screen shots make no sense to me. I am using Numbers'09 on a MacBook Pro running OS X. Please tell us what device, operating system and app you are using. You still have not told us.
This forum is for Numbers on a Mac running OS X. Is your screen shot from an iOS device?
I don't know anything about Numbers for iOS.

What Is the Correct Syntax?

I am searching a database, order the search result by some criterion supplied by users and ASC/DESC is also supplied by user's selection. How do I write the query statement?
   public Collection getBeans( String memberName, String sortCriterion, String order )

What are the permissions needed to run explain plans via sql develeper?

Are the permissions the same in Sql Developer to run explain plans like they are when you run them via sql*plus?

Yes same permission because the explain plan does not tie to the tools.

Hi, John,
Not that you asked, but as you proabably know, analytic functions are much better at doing this kind of thing.
You may be amazed (as I continually am) by how simple and efficient these queries can be.
For example:
WITH     got_grp          AS
     SELECT     proj_id, proj_start, proj_end
     ,     proj_end - SUM (proj_end - proj_start) OVER (ORDER BY proj_start)     AS grp
     FROM     v
SELECT       ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY grp)     AS proj_grp
,       MIN (proj_start)                         AS proj_start
,       MAX (proj_end)               AS proj_end
FROM       got_grp
GROUP BY grp
ORDER BY proj_start
;Produces the results you want:
PROJ_GRP PROJ_START PROJ_END
         1 01-Jan-2005 05-Jan-2005
         2 06-Jan-2005 07-Jan-2005
         3 16-Jan-2005 20-Jan-2005
         4 21-Jan-2005 22-Jan-2005
         5 26-Jan-2005 30-Jan-2005This is problem is an example of Neighbor-Defined Groups . You want to GROUP BY something that has 5 distinct values, to get the 5 rows above, but there's nothing in the table itself that tells you to which group each row belongs. The groups are not defined by any column in hte table, but by relationships between rows. In this case, a row is in the same group as its neighbor (the row immediatly before or after it when sorted by proj_start or proj_end) if proj_end of the earlier row is the same as proj_start of the later row. That is, there is nothing about 03-Jan-2005 that says the row with proj_id=2 is in the first group, or even that it is in the same group with its neighbor, the row with proj_id=3. Only the relation between those rows, the fact that the earlier row has end_date=03-Jan-2005 and the later row has start_date=03-Jan-2003, that says these neighbors belong to the same group.
You're figuring out when a new group starts, and then counting how many groups have already started to see to which group each row belongs. That's a prefectly natural procedural way of approaching the problem. But SQL is not a procedural language, and sometimes another approach is much more efficient. In this case, as in many others, a Constant Difference defines the groups. The difference between proj_end (or proj_start, it doesn't matter in this case) and the total duratiojn of the rows up to that date determines a group. The actual value of that difference means nothing to you or anybody else, so I used ROW_NUMBER in the query above to map those distinct values into consecutive integers 1, 2, 3, ... which are a much simpler way to identify the groups.
Note that the query above only requires one pass through the table, and only requires one sub-query. It does not need a WITH clause; you could easily make got_grp an in-line view.
If you used analytic functions (LEAD or LAG) to compute flag, and then to compute proj_grp (COUNT or SUM), you would need two sub-queries, one for each analytic function, but you would still only need one pass through the table. Also, those sub-queries could be in-line views; yiou would not need to use a WITH clause.

What's the recommended way to run a WebLogic Server in the background?

I'm new to WebLogic Server and I've been looking at the documentation. There's instructions for starting and stopping servers on Linux but they all seem to rely on foreground processes. What's the correct way to run these processes in the background in a production environment? Is it just by using nohup somewhere in a script /etc/init.d/ or is there some other way I should be running it?

Meatwad,
Of course, running the WLS processes using nohup would place the process in the background. However, the recommended way to run the WLS servers on a production system would be to configure node manager and use this. This places the servers as a background process but also provides some additional functionality, that would be useful - for instance, allowing starting and stopping via the admin console and the ability to auto restart failed or stuck servers.
For more information, please consult the documentation.

What is the correct dev environment?

I'm using Sun Java 1.6 on an Ubuntu 8.04 platform using an eclipse 3.2 IDE. It's the pits! I tried to convince my boss in the beginning to use a Fedora OS with fedora Eclipse and Iced-tea java. I read somewhere that iced-tea is basically the same as Sun Java, except that the sound components aren't yet OSS (Sun is changing this). My question to you all is: Can I dev jee apps with fedora eclipse and iced-tea (latest) and have these apps be truly cross-platform? Will the java I write on the fedora platform be truly as cross-platform as Sun's Java, sound not withstanding?

In general, use bind variable syntax when referencing session state values in SQL or DML:
select

PL/SQL function references v('p23_id') and nv('p23_id') [for number values] must be used to access values in stored program units called from APEX, although it's usually better to pass the values as parameters: foo(:p23_id).

What is the setVariable syntax for AS3

Hi,
I am having issues with setting a variable in AS3 SWF playing inside a Dir12
spriteObjRef.setVariable(variableName, newValue)
In the context of ActionScript 3, this method is only supported on a Flash object, not on a
spriteObjectRef.
What would the Flash Object syntax be??
Thanks,
