Hi all. I am trying to use order by property of the non database item in a database block. as below
set_block_property(----,order_by,:block.non_data_base_colmumn)

It clears the block instead of order by. Plz guide me..
Thanks
Riaz

Either retrieve all the records from the database and then sort them manually, or base your block on a view, or a procedure.

The 'order by' is done as part of the database SQL so you need to have the data available at the database level.

iam facing the same problem.

i have a datablock called 'CA'. its based on 'curr_assign' table.
that datablock has an item called 'dsp_name'.its non database item. this item gets value from a view called 'perpal_v'.

prompt for 'dsp_name' is NAME

now i need to create a a sort button near 'NAME'. when i click that button ,it should sort the NAME field.

my problem is , i cannot use set_block_property('..order_by,..)
as that NAME field doesnt belong to 'curr_assign' table.

i cannot write in order by clause of CA. which is useless.

i attached the block pic . i need to have sort button near NAME field.


can you please help me or give me some code which helps .

i tried a lot.

thanks

That's easy if the item you want to order by is a database item.
Just change the order_by property of the block and re-query.
You still need to employ one of David's suggestions to make your item a db item though.

'Name ' field is not a database item. its getting value from a view called perpal_v. and NAME field is on a datablock whose table is 'Curren_assgn'.
perpal_v view is created on a group of tables called 'persons, and 'person_al'.

so you want me to create a view by joining 'currn_assgn','persons','person_al' ?????

and then give that view's name in 'query datasource name' property of that datablock??

is there any other solution??

please help me.

Maybe?
You need to write a view that gets all the data you need. You know what that data is and where it comes from, I don't.

Yes

Base the datablock on a stored procedure

This is quite self-explanatory - choose an item (such as ID) which should act as a "primary key item" and set this property to "Yes".

i gave primary key. iam not getting any errors while compiling. but when i deployed, i got error in the application when i tried to open CA block. error is given below

FRM-40505:ORACLE error :unable to perform query

when i tried to query CA block it gives below error:

table or view doesnt exist.

i replaced the old table name with view name in all places. even though iam getting that error. might be in PLL i have table name that i dont have permission to change.

Run the form again. When the error appears, go to Help menu and select "Display error" - see what's in there (and, eventually, post it back here).
