Where's Wally? Or upcoming conferences for the first half of 2014 ....

By
Conference season has started as usual with RMOUG - where I've never been and still would love to go once. The conferences for the first half of the year where I will be presenting are listed below.

February 13, ODTUG online webinar
Together with Mia Urman I will be presenting "Running Oracle Forms from an APEX Application". About five years ago I wrote an article and presented about how to integrate Forms and APEX and this is another option in that area. You can join, for free, without travelling at the ODTUG site.

March 11, OUG Ireland, Dublin
Just like last year, I'll be attending Dublin early March. It's a very well organized conference in a beautiful venue. You can see all the presentations and all other information here. I'll be presenting "Best of both worlds: Create hybrid mobile applications with Oracle Application Express" - and "Finding the Needle in the Haystack or How to Troubleshoot an APEX Issue".

March 25, APEX World, Zeist
Officially the largest APEX-only conference in the world with an expected attendance of about 300 APEX enthousiasts. The complete - and impressive - agenda can be found here. I'll be doing the "hybrid" presentation again.

April 3-5, OUG Norway, Oslo - Kiel - Oslo
As most people know by now, this conference is on a cruise ship. So there's no escape ;-)
The agenda is awesome, with speakers from all over the world. Check this out. I'll be doing "An introduction into APEX" and "APEX and BI Publisher - a match made in heaven?"

April 29, APEX Usergroup, Düsseldorf
I've been invited to do a presentation at this event. Don't know which one yet...

June 5-6, OUG Finland, Helsinki
This will be my first visit to Finland. Really looking forward to this as the conference is somewhere outside of the city. I'll be doing the "BI Publisher" and the "hybrid" ones over there. The full agenda is not on line yet.

June 22-26, Kscope, Seattle
Last in the first half of 2014, but definitely not least, is Kscope. All information and the superb agenda can be found online. Apart from the stunning APEX agenda with three parallel tracks (I have to admit, I am biased, being the content lead) also the Developer Toolbox and Database tracks are very appealing to me. And then I didn't even mention the other tracks (Essbase, Hyperion, ADF & Fusion, EPM, BI & DWH) - until now that is...
Oh yeah, I'll be presenting the "hybrid" one again and "My first mobi - Starting mobile web development with APEX".

Hope to see you in one - or more - of these events!

Most presentations are sponsored by the Oracle ACE Program, extremely well organized by Vikki and Lillian.

Fix Interactive Report headers issue when using a Region Display Selector

By
When you have multiple Interactive Reports (IR) on your page and use a Region Display Selector to mimic tabs, you might notice some weird behaviour in the IR headings if you switch tabs. The headings are not positioned correctly and you get an extra empty row under the headings. It just looks weird and ugly. But if you resize your browser window, it all looks fine again (until you switch to another tab..) So can we fix this by creating a Dynamic Action that mimics that "browser window resize" event? Yes we can! Create a Dynamic Action that fires on Click of the jQuery selector li.apex-rds-item a . That should fire a JavaScript snippet :  apex.event.trigger(this.triggeringElement, "apexwindowresized"); So now a click on a tab not only switches from one IR to another but also fires that event that will "autofix" the IR headers. A simple solution for an annoying problem. This applies to APEX 5.0, I assume it will be solved in 5.1.

How to create neatly formatted Excel documents using PL/SQL?

By
If there is a requirement to produce output from an application into Excel, you would probably create a CSV (Comma Separated File) with the data and start Excel to show the data - at least that's what I did...until now. The drawback of this solution is that you could only produce data and no nice layout. But Excel is also capable of opening HTML-files and using this you could create Excel files with data and magnificent layout! Let me give an example: 1. Create a procedure to show the data in formatted in an HTML table. CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE display_emp_list IS v_emp_count NUMBER(5); v_empno NUMBER(8); v_ename VARCHAR2(50); v_job emp.job%TYPE; v_sal emp.sal%TYPE; v_bg_color VARCHAR2(10) := ''; CURSOR c_emp IS SELECT empno, initcap(ename), job, sal FROM emp ORDER BY ename; BEGIN SELECT COUNT(*) INTO v_emp_count FROM emp; owa_util.mime_header('application/ms-excel', FALSE); htp.p('Content...

Refresh selected row(s) in an Interactive Grid

By
In my previous post I blogged about pushing changed rows from the dabatase into an Interactive Grid . The use case I'll cover right here is probably more common - and therefore more useful! Until we had the IG, we showed the data in a report (Interactive or Classic). Changes to the data where made by popping up a form page, making changes, saving and refreshing the report upon closing the dialog. Or by clicking an icon / button / link in your report that makes some changes to the data (like changing a status) and ... refresh the report.  That all works fine, but the downsides are: The whole dataset is returned from the server to the client - again and again. And if your pagination size is large, that does lead to more and more network traffic, more interpretation by the browser and more waiting time for the end user. The "current record" might be out of focus after the refresh, especially by larger pagination sizes, as the first rows will be shown. Or (even wors...
