FromReports:srw.user_exit("user_exit_name(parameter1,parameter2,...)")
33.Whatisanchoring?
Anchorsareusedtodeterminetheverticalandhorizontalpositioningofachildobject
relativetoitsparent.
Rules:
1.Anobjectmaybeanchoredtoonlyoneotherobject.
2.Matrixobjects,anchors,andthemargincannotbeanchoredtoanything(i.e.,they
maynotbetheparentorchildobjectforananchor).
3.Arepeatingframethatistheverticalorhorizontalrepeatingframeforamatrix
cannotbeanchoredtoanotherobject,butotherobjectsmaybeanchoredtoit(i.e.,it
canbetheparentbutnotthechildobjectforananchor).
4.Nothingcanbeanchoredtoahiddenobject(anobjectwithHiddenchecked).
5.Movingananchoralsocausethetwoobjectsitanchorstogethertomove.
6.Objectscannotbeanchoredtogetherinsuchawaythattheyhaveacircular
dependency.Forexample:
AssumethatobjectAandobjectBareanchoredtogetherandobjectAisthe
parent.ObjectBcannotbetheparentforanotheranchorbetweenobjectAandobject
B.Inaddition,objectBcannotbetheparentforananchortoobjectC,ifobjectCis
theparentforananchortoobjectA.
AssumethatframeAcontainsfieldBandfieldBisaboveframeAintheeditor.
Furthermore,frameAisanchoredtofieldC,whichisnotinsideofframeA,andfieldC
istheparent.FieldCcannotbetheparentforananchortofieldB.Becauseitis
insideofframeA,fieldBcannotbeanchoredtofieldC,iffieldCistheparent.
7.Tocopyananchor,youmustselecttheanchorandthetwoobjectsitanchors
together.Ifyouselecttheanchorbyitself,nothingwillbecopiedtothepastebuffer.If
youselecttheanchorandoneoftheobjects,onlytheobjectisplacedinthe
clipboard.
8.Ananchorcannotberesized.
9.Ananchormustalwaysbeontopoftheobjectsitanchorstogether(i.e.,itmustbe
oneormorelayersabovetheparentandchildobjects).OracleReportspreventsyou
frommovingtheanchortoalayerbelowitsparentandchildobjects.
10.YoucannotuseAlign,AlignObjects,orSizeObjectsfromtheArrangemenuon
anchors.
34.Whatareformattriggers?
FormatTriggersarePL/SQLfunctionsexecutedbeforetheobjectisformatted.The
triggercanbeusedtodynamicallychangetheformattingattributesoftheobject.
Rules:
Caution:ThePL/SQLinaFormatTriggerisexecutedeachtimethatOracleReports
attemptstoformatthelayoutobject.Asaresult,formattriggersshouldonlycontain
PL/SQLprogramunitsthatsetformattingattributes(e.g.,colorandhighlighting).You
shouldnotperformotheractions,suchasinsertingdatainatable,becauseyou
cannotpredictwhenorhowmanytimesthetriggerwillfire.Forexample,ifyouhave
PageProtectcheckedforanobject,theobjectmightnotbeformattedonthelogical
pagewherethetriggerisfired.Inaddition,thetriggermaybeexecutedmorethan
once.
1.CommentsinserteddirectlyintothePL/SQLcodemustusethePL/SQLcomment
delimiters.
2.InaFormatTrigger,youcanreadthevaluesofOracleReportscolumnsand
parametersofthecorrectfrequency(lookattherulebelow),butyoucannotdirectly
settheirvalues.Forexample,youcanusethevalueofaparametercalledCOUNT1in
acondition(e.g.,IF:COUNT1=10),butyoucannotdirectlysetitsvalueinan
assignmentstatement(e.g.,:COUNT1=10).(Thisrestrictionalsoappliestouser
exitscalledfromtheFormatTrigger.)
3.NotealsothattheuseofPL/SQLglobalvariablestoindirectlysetthevaluesof
columnsorparametersisnotsupported.Ifyoudothis,youmaygetunpredictable
results.
4.YoucannotreferencecolumnsorvariablesintheFormatTriggerofanobjectthat
haveadifferentfrequencythantheobject.Forexample,ifyoucreateamaster/detail
report,theparentgroup'srepeatingframecannothaveaFormatTriggerthatrelieson
avalueinthechildgroup.Foreachparent,theremaybemultiplechildren.Therefore,
attheparentrecordlevel,OracleReportscannotdeterminewhichofthechildrecords

touse.Youalsocannotreferenceanypagedependentcolumns(i.e.,ResetAtof
Page)orcolumnsthatrelyonpagedependentcolumnsinaFormatTrigger.The
reasonforthisisthatitwouldresultinacirculardependency.Thatis,thevalueofa
pagedependentcolumncannotbecomputeduntilthereportisformatted,butthe
reportcannotbeformatteduntiltheFormatTriggerisexecuted.
5.IfaFormatTriggerreturnsfalseandtheobjectdoesnotformat,thiscancause
otherobjectsnottoprint.Forexample,ifarepeatingframedoesnotformat,any
objects(fields,boilerplate,frames,orotherrepeatingframes)itencloseswouldnot
formateither.
6.Forrepeatingframes,theFormatTriggerisexecutedforeachinstanceofthe
repeatingframe.TocreateaFormatTriggerthatactsuponallinstancesofarepeating
frameatonce,createaframearoundtherepeatingframeandenteraFormatTrigger
fortheframe.IftheFormatTriggerreturnsFALSEforeveryinstanceofarepeating
frameonalogicalpage,therepeatingframewilloccupynospaceonthelogicalpage
andanchorstootherobjectswillcollapse(ifspecified).
7.ThePL/SQLinaFormatTriggermustreturnconsistentresultsforthesameobject.
Forexample,sayyouhaveaframewhoseFormatTriggerreturnsFALSEwhena
certainconditionismet.Iftheframespanstwopages,theFormatTriggeractually
firestwice(onceforeachpageonwhichtheframeformats).Theconditioninyour
PL/SQLmustreturnthesameresultbothtimestheFormatTriggerfires.Otherwise,
onlypartoftheframewillbeformatted(e.g.,thepartoftheframeonthefirstpage
formats,butthepartonthesecondpagedoesnot).
8.IftheFormatTriggeronarepeatingframeinamatrixreportreturnsFALSE,an
entireroworcolumnofthematrixwillnotformat.Forexample,ifaninstanceofthe
acrossdimensionrepeatingframedoesnotformat,theentirecolumnwillnotformatin
thematrix.
9.Ifyouwanttoconditionallychangethecellofamatrix,youshouldputaframe

35.WhatisauserExit?

processingthatisbeyondthescopeofSQLorSQL*Formscommands.Oracle
ApplicationObjectLibraryhelpsyoubuildauserexitinathirdgenerationlanguage
(suchasPro*C)andintegrateitintoastandarduserexitlibrary.
36.Howcanyouincreasetheperformanceofreports?
1.WritingstraightforwardandplaindatafetchingQueries.
2.Utilizingacorrectcombinationofindicesontablestofetchdata.
3.IncaseofOraclereports(6i)reducethenumberofUserexits,formattriggers,
formulacolumns,summarycolumnsetc.
4.IncaseofOraclereports(6i),insteadofwritingacomplexquery,breakitupinto
multiplesimplequeriesandlinkthemupwithdatalinks.

39.HowdidyouoptimizeyourSQLafterusingExplainPlan?

2.Rearrangingthetablenamesinfromclause.

Packages
ApackageisadatabaseobjectthatgroupslogicallyrelatedPL/SQLtypes,objects,

althoughsometimesthebodyisunnecessary.Thespecificationistheinterfaceto

andsoimplementsthespecification.
Unlikesubprograms,packagescannotbecalled,passedparameters,ornested.Still,

Youcandebug,enhance,orreplaceapackagebodywithoutchangingtheinterface
(packagespecification)tothepackagebody.
PackagescanbecreatedinteractivelywithSQL*PlusorSQL*DBAusingtheCREATE

Onlythedeclarationsinthepackagespecificationarevisibleandaccessibleto

So,youcanchangethebodywithouthavingtorecompilecallingprograms.
