Migrating from oracle 8i to oracle 10g [message #473682]

Hi to everyone

I have migrated from Oracle 8i (8.1.7) to Oracle 10g, but when I execute a query in 8i without any order by clause, I get a result in ascending order. The same query when executed in 10g gives a result which is not ordered. Can anyone advise me as to how to get an order result in 10g. There are many forms and reports which use lov which are not ordered. Can I set the ordering at the database, so that I do not have to alter all the forms and reports.

I have also migrated my forms from 5 to 6, but the combo box in some forms in 6i do not appear at run time. Please show me how I can solve this problem. I have attached an forms5 .fmb file/

Regards

Alister

There is only ONE way to get an order: use and ORDER BY clause.

But why does the same query give me the result in one order in 8i and another order in 10g. Is there any internal ordering ie the way data is stored in the different databases.

Regards.

You got lucky.
Most likely due to the 8i using the RBO which decided to retrieve the data for that query via an index so got it in the order of that index.
In 10g the CBO decided to get the data a different way.

Bear in mind that even in 8i there are things that could have changed that would have stopped that query returning data in that order. Hence - you got lucky. It's nothing to do with how it's stored.

You need to add order bys.

Best guess for the combo boxs is there is a problem with the sub-class. Try removing it and see if they appear

I found the maximum length of the data was 1 char, so I increased it to 9 and the combo box appeared at run time and worked fine. My question is why is the combo box working with a char length of 1 in forms 5 and not so in an higher version ie forms6 for the same data.

Perhaps because something changed between those two versions. What it was, probably can be found in New features guide.
