Using the PL/SQL Function body returning SQL query












-1















I am working with Oracle APEX and I'm trying to store a dynamic sql query in the PL/SQL Function body. Here is my current SQL query for a classic report:



SELECT 
RELEASE,
COUNT(*) as "Total Tests", --total
SUM(CASE WHEN TYPE = 'P1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "P1",
SUM(CASE WHEN TYPE = 'P2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "P2",
SUM(CASE WHEN TYPE = 'P3' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "P3",
SUM(CASE WHEN TYPE = 'P4' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "P4"
FROM TABLENAME
group by RELEASE
ORDER BY case
when RELEASE = '19.3' then 1
when RELEASE = '18.11' then 2
when RELEASE = '18.9' then 3
when RELEASE = '18.7' then 4
when RELEASE = '17.3' then 5
else 6
end asc


I am trying to store the 'tablename' in a page item so that whenever a user changes the page item, this query will automatically pull from the given table. I've attempted to build a pl/sql function around this but continue to run into errors with the 'strings'.



Does anyone know how to convert this in to a dynamic pl/sql function?



Thanks in advance.

You should




  • create a classic report whose source is a function that returns a query


  • that query should look like this:



    return '
    SELECT
    RELEASE,
    COUNT(*) as "Total Tests", --total
    SUM(CASE WHEN TYPE = ''P1'' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "P1",
    SUM(CASE WHEN TYPE = ''P2'' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "P2",
    SUM(CASE WHEN TYPE = ''P3'' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "P3",
    SUM(CASE WHEN TYPE = ''P4'' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "P4"
    FROM ' ||
    SYS.DBMS_ASSERT.sql_object_name(:P1_TABLE_NAME) ||
    ' group by RELEASE
    ORDER BY case
    when RELEASE = ''19.3'' then 1
    when RELEASE = ''18.11'' then 2
    when RELEASE = ''18.9'' then 3
    when RELEASE = ''18.7'' then 4
    when RELEASE = ''17.3'' then 5
    else 6
    end asc';


  • DBMS_ASSERT is here to prevent SQL Injection


  • set "use generic column names" to "Yes"

  • page item's name is :P1_TABLE_NAME (in my example); it should be a text field, submit when press Enter


That's all, I presume.
