Two Interactive Reports on one Page
But this is how it works using an IFrame:
1. Create a page (ex. 24) with an Interactive Report on DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS - set the Page Template to 'Printer Friendly' to get rid of the regular header and footer stuff.
2. Create a page (ex. 23) with an Interactive Report on DEMO_ORDERS
3. On page 23 create an HTML Region with as Region Source:
<IFRAME src="f?p=&APP_ID.:24:&SESSION."
style="width:600px;height:600px"
name="details"
scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
frameborder="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" />
4. Set the Link Column attributes of the Interactive Report on DEMO_ORDERS to:
- Link Column : Custom Target
- Link Attributes : target="details" (that's the name of the IFRAME)
- Target Page : 24
- Clear Cache : 24,RIR (will clear the IR cache on Page 24)
- Item 1 : IR_ORDER_ID as the Name, #ORDER_ID# as the Value (will set ORDER_ID as Search Item.
Now if you click on the Column Link on the left IR, the right IR gets synchronized. Isn't that cool?
See the live example on apex.oracle.com.
Example:-
Steps to create multiple IR on same page:-
1) Create page 1 with an Interactive Report.
2) Create page 2 with another Interactive Report.
3) Create page 3.
- Add 2 HTML Region , one for each IR.
- Edit the first HTML Region. Go to Source Tab and add the below code
<iframe src ="f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION." height=600 width=600 frameborder=0></iframe>
- Edit the second HTML Region.Go to Source Tab and add the below code.
<iframe src ="f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION." height=600 width=600 frameborde</iframe>

String Aggregation Techniques
On occasion it is necessary to aggregate data from a number of rows into
a single row, giving a list of data associated with a specific value.
Using the SCOTT.EMP table as an example, we might want to retrieve a
list of employees for each department. Below is a list of the base data
and the type of output we would like to return from an aggregate query.
The

LISTAGG Analystic Function in 11g Release 2
The LISTAGG analytic function was introduced in Oracle 11g
Release 2, making it very easy to aggregate strings. The nice thing
about this function is it also allows us to order the elements in the
concatenated list. If you are using 11g Release 2 you should use this
function for string aggregation.
SELECT deptno, LISTAGG(ename, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ename) AS employees
FROM emp
GROUP BY deptno;
DEPTNO EMPLOYEES

3 rows selected.
WM_CONCAT Built-in Function (Not Supported)
If you are not running 11g Release 2, but are running a version of the database where the WM_CONCAT
function is present, then it is a zero effort solution as it performs
the aggregation for you. It is actually an example of a user defined
aggregate function described below, but Oracle have done all the work
for you.
SELECT deptno, wm_concat(ename) AS employees
FROM emp
GROUP BY deptno;
DEPTNO EMPLOYEES
---------- --------------------------------------------------

20 SMITH,FORD,ADAMS,SCOTT,JONES
30 ALLEN,BLAKE,MARTIN,TURNER,JAMES,WARD
3 rows selected.
User-Defined Aggregate Function
The WM_CONCAT function described above is an example of a
user-defined aggregate function that Oracle have already created for
you. If you don't want to use WM_CONCAT, you can create your own user-defined aggregate function as described at
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE t_string_agg AS OBJECT
(
g_string VARCHAR2(32767),
STATIC FUNCTION ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT t_string_agg)
RETURN NUMBER,
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT t_string_agg,
value IN VARCHAR2 )
RETURN NUMBER,
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN t_string_agg,
returnValue OUT VARCHAR2,
flags IN NUMBER)
RETURN NUMBER,
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT t_string_agg,
ctx2 IN t_string_agg)
RETURN NUMBER
);
/
SHOW ERRORS
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY t_string_agg IS
STATIC FUNCTION ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT t_string_agg)
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
sctx := t_string_agg(NULL);
RETURN ODCIConst.Success;
END;
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT t_string_agg,
value IN VARCHAR2 )
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
SELF.g_string := self.g_string || ',' || value;
RETURN ODCIConst.Success;
END;
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN t_string_agg,
returnValue OUT VARCHAR2,
flags IN NUMBER)
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
returnValue := RTRIM(LTRIM(SELF.g_string, ','), ',');
RETURN ODCIConst.Success;
END;
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT t_string_agg,
ctx2 IN t_string_agg)
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
SELF.g_string := SELF.g_string || ',' || ctx2.g_string;
RETURN ODCIConst.Success;
END;
END;
/
SHOW ERRORS
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION string_agg (p_input VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2
PARALLEL_ENABLE AGGREGATE USING t_string_agg;
/
SHOW ERRORS
The aggregate function is implemented using a type and type body,
and is used within a query.
COLUMN employees FORMAT A50
SELECT deptno, string_agg(ename) AS employees
FROM emp
GROUP BY deptno;
DEPTNO EMPLOYEES
---------- --------------------------------------------------

Specific Function
One approach is to write a specific function to solve the problems. The get_employees function listed below returns a list of employees for the specified department.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_employees (p_deptno in emp.deptno%TYPE)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
l_text VARCHAR2(32767) := NULL;
BEGIN
FOR cur_rec IN (SELECT ename FROM emp WHERE deptno = p_deptno) LOOP
l_text := l_text || ',' || cur_rec.ename;
END LOOP;
RETURN LTRIM(l_text, ',');
END;
/
SHOW ERRORS
The function can then be incorporated into a query as follows.
COLUMN employees FORMAT A50
SELECT deptno,
get_employees(deptno) AS employees
FROM emp
GROUP by deptno;
DEPTNO EMPLOYEES
---------- --------------------------------------------------
10 CLARK,KING,MILLER
20 SMITH,JONES,SCOTT,ADAMS,FORD
30 ALLEN,WARD,MARTIN,BLAKE,TURNER,JAMES
To reduce the number of calls to the function, and thereby improve performance,
we might want to filter the rows in advance.
SELECT e.deptno,
get_employees(e.deptno) AS employees
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT deptno
FROM emp) e;
DEPTNO EMPLOYEES
---------- --------------------------------------------------
10 CLARK,KING,MILLER
20 SMITH,JONES,SCOTT,ADAMS,FORD
30 ALLEN,WARD,MARTIN,BLAKE,TURNER,JAMES
3 rows selected.
Generic Function using Ref Cursor
An alternative approach is to write a function to concatenate values passed using a ref cursor. This is essentially the same as the previous example, except that the cursor is passed in making it generic, as shown below.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION concatenate_list (p_cursor IN SYS_REFCURSOR)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
l_return VARCHAR2(32767);
l_temp VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
LOOP
FETCH p_cursor
INTO l_temp;
EXIT WHEN p_cursor%NOTFOUND;
l_return := l_return || ',' || l_temp;
END LOOP;
RETURN LTRIM(l_return, ',');
END;
The CURSOR function is used to allow a query to be passed to the function
as a ref cursor, as shown below.
SELECT e1.deptno,
concatenate_list(CURSOR(SELECT e2.ename FROM emp e2 WHERE e2.deptno = e1.deptno)) employees
FROM emp e1
GROUP BY e1.deptno;
DEPTNO EMPLOYEES
---------- --------------------------------------------------
10 CLARK,KING,MILLER
20 SMITH,JONES,SCOTT,ADAMS,FORD
30 ALLEN,WARD,MARTIN,BLAKE,TURNER,JAMES
3 rows selected.
Once again, the total number of function calls can be reduced by filtering the distinct values, rather than calling the function for each row.
SELECT deptno,
concatenate_list(CURSOR(SELECT e2.ename FROM emp e2 WHERE
e2.deptno = e1.deptno)) employees
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT deptno
FROM emp) e1;
DEPTNO EMPLOYEES

FIRST_VALUE
TheFIRST_VALUE analytic function is similar to the FIRST analytic function, allowing you to return the first result from an ordered set.SELECT empno,
deptno,
sal,
FIRST_VALUE(sal) IGNORE NULLS
OVER (PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY sal) AS lowest_in_dept
FROM emp;
EMPNO DEPTNO SAL LOWEST_IN_DEPT

The "
{RESPECT | IGNORE} NULLS" clause indicates if NULLs are considered when determining results.The windowing clause can be used to alter the window of operation. The following example uses "
ROWS 1 PRECEDING" to give a result similar, but not quite the same, to a LAG of 1 row.SELECT empno,
deptno,
sal,
FIRST_VALUE(sal) IGNORE NULLS
OVER (PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY sal ROWS 1 PRECEDING) AS preceding_in_dept

7698 30 2850 1600
LAST_VALUE
The LAST_VALUE analytic function is similar to the LAST
analytic function, allowing you to return the last result from an
ordered set. Using the default windowing clause the result can be a
little unexpected.
SELECT empno,
deptno,
sal,
LAST_VALUE(sal) IGNORE NULLS
OVER (PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY sal) AS highest_in_dept
FROM emp;
EMPNO DEPTNO SAL HIGHEST_IN_DEPT
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------------
7934 10 1300 1300
7782 10 2450 2450
7839 10 5000 5000
7369 20 800 800
7876 20 1100 1100
7566 20 2975 2975
7788 20 3000 3000
7902 20 3000 3000
7900 30 950 950
7654 30 1250 1250
7521 30 1250 1250
7844 30 1500 1500
7499 30 1600 1600
7698 30 2850 2850
This is because the default windowing clause is
"RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW",
which in this example means the current row will always be the last value.
Altering the windowing clause to
"RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING"
gives us the result we probably expected.
SELECT empno,
deptno,
sal,
LAST_VALUE(sal) IGNORE NULLS
OVER (PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY sal RANGE BETWEEN
UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING) AS highest_in_dept
FROM emp;
EMPNO DEPTNO SAL HIGHEST_IN_DEPT
