Session Objectives

APEX IR from a BI perspective:

filtering, drills, charting, saved reports, downloads and resources required.

Where APEX IR do not measure up to BI Tools

Does it matter for your installation?

Impact of APEX 4.0 IR GROUP BY and Saved Reports

BI to APEX ?

Are We Nuts?

APEX is

NOT a

BI Tool.

The Situation

Fixed # of Prepared Queries / Reports

Little to No Drilldown

Little to No Custom Reports

Reasonable Data Volumes

Expensive, Older-Version Business Objects License

Users Not Leveraging BI Features …

Use Does Not Justify Cost of BI Tool

No Drills

Do Exchange Reports, but not a lot

Costly

Traditional Crosstab Query


PL/SQL PIVOT_PKG

Per Kyte, Expert One on One

Procedure that Returns REFCURSOR

Function that Returns SQL Query

Works for Unknown Columns

BUT

APEX IR is from SQL Query Only –

Does NOT Allow IR Create from Function Returning Query

Development Crosstab Options

PIVOT_Q Function - Returns Query

FUNCTION PIVOT_Q (

p_max_cols IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL,

p_max_cols_query IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,

p_query IN VARCHAR2,

p_anchor IN ARRAY_TT,

BEGIN

/*

per Tom Kyte Expert One on One

*/

-- figure # of columns we need

-- we either know this or have a query to figure it out

IF (p_max_cols IS NOT NULL ) THEN

ELSIF (p_max_cols_query IS NOT NULL) THEN

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE p_max_cols_query INTO l_max_cols;

ELSE

-- now construct query that can answer querstion for us

Pivot PL/SQL Package

Development Crosstab Options

So …. Plan B for Dynamic Crosstab

Create Collection

SQL Query on the Collection

Condition on the C-C Process, so it doesn’t Recreate

Conditions on the Columns, so Display Only When Data

Column Header Items and Process to Load Header Items

May Not Have Column Names in IR Activity Menu!!

Development - Crosstab Method

Create the Collection

Before Header Process


Condition on the C-C Process

Prevents Error on Existing Collection


Items for Column Headers

Create Item for Each Column

Name Each Column

Apply Display

Condition on Each

Column


Conditions on the Columns

Process to Load Header Items

Manually Name Column Headers

Manually Apply Display Condition

or

Process to Load Header Items

or

Custom Pl/SQL Procedure to Programmatically Build Items, Names, Conditions ?


Dynamic Pivot - Result


Sample Data – Un-Named Column Headings

Dynamic Pivot - Result


Sample Data – Named Column Headings

Dynamic Pivot - Drawbacks

Tedious – C001 – C050

Un-Named Column Headers Don’t Show in Select Cols

Build Crosstabs w/Known or Predictable Column Headers


ROLLUP, CUBE, GROUPING SET

All These Valid in SQL Query

Will NOT Have Inherent BI Behavior in an APEX IR

No “Automatic” Drill Levels

No Auto Aggregates

Aim for Known Column Headers, or Dynamic Column Work Necessary
