Oracle Function required with certain logic to implement in Spotfire - oracle

I have created a Function from Oralce DB and used it as input to Spotfire report. The reason why i used a function instead of view is because the parameters had some complex logic operations and i was not able to get that done in a view.
Coming to the report i have built. Currently i am using 2 parameters in the function and i am taking both the values from Spotfire text area in Data on Demand mode. Issue is that unless i enter values for both parameters i wont get the output. My requirement is that i need to add few more parameters for the report which i can but i need to set up the function and the settings in Spotfire such that if 5 parameters are there , if users enters one value for just one parameter report should run for that parameter. So the Functions needs to be in such a way that if value is entered that should be taken and if its left empty then that should not be considered. leaving the Spotfire part if the Function is built with the specifics mentioned by me i can implement it directly.
I have got different solutions from everywhere and i am not able to implement anything properly. I am updating all the examples and need help in figuring out the right one and correcting it or to do it in a completely different manner
Code Type 1:
create or replace function Function_test(p1 varchar2='',p2 varchar2='',p3 varchar2)
return SYS_REFCURSOR as
my_cursor SYS_REFCURSOR;
begin
open my_cursor for
select distinct
x.c1
x.c2
x.c3
from x
where x.c1=p3
and (p1='' or x.c2=p1)
and (p2='' or x.c3=p2);
return my_cursor;
end;
The above code seems to be an example from MSSQL and i am able to get the logic but dont know the right way to implement in Oracle. When i tried i just got lot of errors.
Code Type 2:
create or replace function Function_delete(param1 Varchar2, param2 varchar2)
RETURN Varchar2 IS
ssql varchar2(3000);
test varchar2(1000);
begin
ssql := 'select col1,col2 from table_x';
if param1 is null and param2 is not null then
ssql := ssql || ' Where col2='''|| param2 ||'''';
end if;
if param1 is not null and param2 is null then
ssql := ssql || ' Where col3= ''' || param1 ||'''';
end if;
if param1 is not null and param2 is not null then
ssql := ssql || ' Where col3 = ''' || param1 || ''' and col2='''|| param2 ||'''';
end if;
dbms_output.put_line(ssql);
execute immediate ssql into test;
return test;
--EXCEPTION
-- WHEN OTHERS THEN
-- return 'Hello';
end Function_delete;
In the above example i am not able to implement the logic right in Spotfire cos it requires columns to get the data. Ultimately i need a code that accepts no of parameters that are given by the user rather than working only when all parameters are given. It needs to have columns visibly displayed since that way i can implement the same in Spotfire Reports.

you can try this:
create or replace function Function_test(p1 in varchar2,p2 in varchar2,p3 in varchar2)
return SYS_REFCURSOR as
my_cursor SYS_REFCURSOR;
begin
open my_cursor for
select
1
from
dual
where 1=1
and '1'=p1
and '2'=p2
and '3'=p3 ;
return my_cursor;
end;

ORA-01403 when referencing page item in PL/SQL

I am building an Oracle ApEx page to show charts of data. The data are entered on to a table as inputs, but the actual calculated metric can be different depending on what KPI is being viewed (AVG(VALUE_1); SUM(VALUE_1)/SUM(VALUE_2); etc.); these calculations are stored on a separate table. Since I want everything to be dynamic for use interactions, I am using a source of PL/SQL Function Body returning SQL Query. Here is a simplified version
DECLARE
SQL_STMT VARCHAR2 (32767);
CALC_CLAUSE VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
SELECT CALCULATION
INTO CALC_CLAUSE
FROM KPI_TYPES
WHERE ID = 101;
--when the value itself is entered, the results display as intended
SQL_STMT := 'SELECT DATE, ' || CALC_CLAUSE || ' KPI_VALUE
FROM DATA_VALUES
WHERE TYPE_ID = :P_KPI
GROUP BY DATE';
RETURN SQL_STMT;
END;
As noted above, this functions as expected when the KPI's ID is manually entered, but I want this to be dynamic. I have a select list page item (P_KPI) for the user to choose the viewed KPI. Its value is actually set from a previous page with validation, so it should never be null.
When I update the CALC_CLAUSE condition:
WHERE ID = :P_KPI
I receive the following error:
ORA-01403: no data found
How can I reference this page item in the function?
Code you posted is invalid (wouldn't compile) and explanation you gave is wrong. Although it is a simplified version, I'd prefer if you posted accurate information.
You said that SQL statement is
SELECT DATE, '||CALC_CLAUSE||' KPI_VALUE
FROM DATA_VALUES ...
while CALC_CLAUSE looks like
WHERE ID = :P_KPI
so the whole query looks like
SELECT DATE, WHERE ID = :P_KPI KPI_VALUE
FROM DATA_VALUES ...
which just doesn't make sense. What is that CALC_CLAUSE, after all? Shouldn't it be AVG(VALUE_1) or something like that?
As of :P_KPI item whose value seems to be NULL: it doesn't matter that you see it on the screen - it should be in the session state. The simplest way to do that is to submit the page, so - did you do it?
Try to create a stored function (in the database, not in Apex) and pass it P_KPI value as a parameter. Then test what you get, as well as the result. When working with dynamic SQL, it is a good idea to DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE the resulting statement (that would be SQL_STMT in your example), copy/paste it into SQL*Plus (or any other tool you use, such as SQL Developer) and see whether it works correctly.
For example:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f_stmt (par_kpi IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
sql_stmt VARCHAR2 (32767);
calc_clause VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
SELECT calculation
INTO calc_clause
FROM kpi_types
WHERE id = par_kpi;
sql_stmt :=
'SELECT DATE, '
|| calc_clause
|| ' KPI_VALUE '
|| ' FROM DATA_VALUES '
|| ' WHERE TYPE_ID = '
|| par_kpi
|| ' GROUP BY DATE';
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (sql_stmt);
RETURN sql_stmt;
END;
Starting with the stored function suggested by Littlefoot, I was able to use this solution:
http://vincentdeelen.blogspot.com/2014/02/interactive-report-based-on-dynamic-sql.html
I have a page process that creates a collection with the dynamic query string. The charts region SQL now queries from the collection, and I can use all of my page items to filter the data appropriately.

Display a table inside an Oracle procedure

I'm on Oracle DB 12c and using SQL Developer.
How can I display every rows of a table inside a procedure, if all arguments are "null".
I'm guessing that my IF is correct and I might have seen two or three posts where they used cursors but I'm not very familiar with the utilization of those.
I would like it to basically be a SELECT * FROM Salle but with a condition.
Am I on the right track here ?
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Foo1 (noSalle in varchar2, Cat in varchar2, Nb in number)
IS
cursor SYS_REFCURSOR; -- Not sure at all about that
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Salle : ' || noSalle || 'Cat : ' || Cat);
IF (noSalle = null AND Cat = null AND Nb = null) THEN
OPEN cursor FOR
SELECT * from Salle;
-- Some sort of FOR row IN cursor LOOP ?
-- Display ALL rows of "Salle"
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Erreur Oracle : '||sqlcode||' ; Message Oracle : '||sqlerrm);
END;
SYS_REFCURSOR is used to hold tabular data usually used when you want to return such data from a function.
Null comparison is incorrect. Use colname is null instead.
If you just want to print all the rows using dbms_output.put_line or something similar, you can do this
for row in (select * from salle) loop
dbms_output.put_line(row.col1||' '||row.col2);
end loop;

Oracle dynamic parameters

I'm struggling to create a dynamic sql parametrized query. It involves using 'IS NULL' or 'IS NOT NULL'
Here's a simple pl/sql query:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE GET_ALL_INFORMATION
(
"PARAM_START_DATE" IN DATE,
"PARAM_END_DATE" IN DATE,
"PARAM_IS_SUBMITTED" IN NUMBER,
"EXTRACT_SUBMITTED_CONTACTS" OUT sys_refcursor
) IS
sql_stmt VARCHAR2(3000);
PARAM_CONDITION VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
IF PARAM_IS_SUBMITTED = 1 THEN
PARAM_CONDITION := 'NOT NULL';
ELSE
PARAM_CONDITION := 'NULL';
END IF;
sql_stmt := ' SELECT
REGISTRATION_NUMBER,
NAME PROVIDER_TYPE,
ORGANIZATION
FROM TABLE_A
WHERE
P.DATE_FINALIZED IS :A;
OPEN EXTRACT_SUBMITTED_CONTACTS FOR sql_stmt USING PARAM_CONDITION;
Whereas the parameter (:A) in (USING PARAM_CONDITION) should have 'NULL' or 'NOT NULL'. It does not seem to work the way I envisioned.
Am I missing something?
As explained by GriffeyDog in a comment above, bind parameters could only be used as place holder for values. Not to replace keywords or identifiers.
However, this is not really an issue here, as you are using dynamic SQL. The key idea ifs that you build your query as a string -- and it will be parsed at run-time by the PL/SQL engine when you invoke EXECUTE or OPEN .. FOR.
Simply said, you need a concatenation -- not a bound parameter:
...
sql_stmt := ' SELECT
REGISTRATION_NUMBER,
NAME PROVIDER_TYPE,
ORGANIZATION
FROM TABLE_A
WHERE
P.DATE_FINALIZED IS ' || PARAM_CONDITION;
-- ^^
OPEN EXTRACT_SUBMITTED_CONTACTS FOR sql_stmt;

Oracle dynamic run error

I created a procedure with dynamic sql,but cannot run it successfully.
create or replace procedure getdata(string par1, results out cursor)
as
declare sqlBase varchar2(100);
begin
sqlBase := 'open '||results|| ' for select * from studetns';
end;
After running, the following error message pops up:
PLS-00306, wrong number or types of arguments in call to '||'
I just need to filter data by some parameters ,but some parameters may be null or empty,
so I need to filter dynamic. like if(par1 is not null) then ........
so here I need to use dynamic sql. in C# programe, use cursor to return result.
like here ,I use cursor type to open select statements.
but in sql editor, I get right sql statement.
Can Somebody help me with this?
Your syntax is a little bit wrong. Try with this:
create or replace procedure getdata(par1 varchar2, par2 varchar2, results out sys_refcursor)
as
begin
open results for
select *
from students
where name = nvl(par1, name)
and surname = nvl(par2, surname);
end;
Why do you need parameter par1? Better to use PL/SQL type varchar2, not string. They work the same, but varchar2 is a base data type, while string is a subtype of it.
Depending on what you want to achieve, I would try something like that:
create or replace procedure getdata(par1 varchar2, results out sys_refcursor)
as
sqlBase varchar2(100);
begin
sqlBase := 'begin open :X for select * from students;end;';
execute immediate sqlbase USING IN OUT results;
end;
You can't concatenate a cursor into a string as you tried it, that's where your error came from.
But if you could clearify your question we could help you better.

Searching data from table by passing table name as a parameter in PL/SQL

Is this stored procedure in oracle is correct for searching data from table by passing table name as a parameter
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE bank_search_sp
(
p_tablename IN VARCHAR2,
p_searchname IN VARCHAR2,
p_bankcode OUT VARCHAR2,
p_bankname OUT VARCHAR2,
p_dist_code OUT NUMBER
)
AS
v_tem VARCHAR2(5000);
BEGIN
v_tem := 'SELECT bankcode,bankname,dist_code FROM ' || UPPER (p_tablename) || '
WHERE bankname LIKE '''|| p_searchname||'''';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_tem
INTO p_bankcode,p_bankname,p_dist_code
USING p_searchname ;
END bank_search_sp;
If you need this procedure, then I guess that you have several tables with the columns bankcode, bankname and dist_code. If this is true, then try to normalize your model if possible.
The USING term is the correct approach, but you have to use the parameter in your query.
To avoid SQL injection, you could use dbms_assert.sql_object_name.
This should work for you:
v_tem := 'SELECT bankcode, bankname, dist_code FROM '
|| dbms_assert.sql_object_name(p_tablename)
|| ' WHERE bankname LIKE :1';
Your EXECUTE IMMEDIATE will throw an exception when finding no row or more than one row, so using LIKE might not be a good idea.
Questions that you should ask yourself:
Is the model properly normalized?
Do you really need to use LIKE, or is = what you want?
If you want to use LIKE, how should the program deal with NO_DATA_FOUND / TOO_MANY_ROWS exceptions?
