The OWA_UTIL package contains utility subprograms for performing operations such as getting the value of CGI environment variables, printing the data that is returned to the client, and printing the results of a query in an HTML table.
See Also:
For more information about implementation of this package:This chapter contains the following topics:
Overview
Types
The OWA_UTIL package contains three types of utility subprograms.
Dynamic SQL Utilities enable you to produce pages with dynamically generated SQL code.
HTML utilities enable you to retrieve the values of CGI environment variables and perform URL redirects.
Date utilities enable correct date-handling. Date values are simple strings in HTML, but are treated as a data type by the Oracle database.
The TODATE Function converts an item of this type to the type DATE, which is understood and properly handled as data by the database. The procedure CHOOSE_DATE Procedure enables the user to select the desired date.
TYPE dateType IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
This data type is used for an array.
TYPE ident_arr IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(30) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
This data type is used by the GET_CLIENT_IP Function in the "OWA_SEC" package on .
TYPE ip_address IS TABLE OF INTEGER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;

This function prepares a SQL query by binding variables to it, and stores the output in an opened cursor. Use this function as a parameter to a procedure sending a dynamically generated query. Specify up to 25 bind variables.
Syntax
OWA_UTIL.BIND_VARIABLES(
theQuery IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
bv1Name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
bv1Value IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
bv2Name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
bv2Value IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
bv3Name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
bv3Value IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
...
bv25Name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
bv25Value IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL)
RETURN INTEGER;
Parameters
Table 179-2 BIND_VARIABLES Function Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
theQuery |
The SQL query statement which must be a SELECT statement |
bv1Name |
The name of the variable |
bv1Value |
The value of the variable |
Return Values
An integer identifying the opened cursor.
These procedures creates a calendar in HTML with a visible border. Each date in the calendar can contain any number of hypertext links.
This procedure has 2 versions.
Version 1 uses a hard-coded query stored in a varchar2 string.
Version 2 uses a dynamic query prepared with the BIND_VARIABLES Function.
Syntax
OWA_UTIL.CALENDARPRINT( p_query IN VARCHAR2, p_mf_only IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'N'); OWA_UTIL.CALENDARPRINT( p_cursor IN INTEGER, p_mf_only IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'N');
Parameters
Table 179-3 CALENDARPRINT Procedure Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
p_query |
A PL/SQL query. |
p_cursor |
A PL/SQL cursor containing the same format as p_query. |
p_mf_only |
If "N" (the default), the generated calendar includes Sunday through Saturday. Otherwise, it includes Monday through Friday only. |
Usage Notes
Design your query as follows:
The first column is a DATE. This correlates the information produced by the query with the calendar output generated by the procedure.
The query output must be sorted on this column using ORDER BY.
The second column contains the text, if any, that you want printed for that date.
The third column contains the destination for generated links. Each item in the second column becomes a hypertext link to the destination given in this column. If this column is omitted, the items in the second column are simple text, not links.
This procedure generates an HTML table from the output of a SQL query. SQL atomic data items are mapped to HTML cells and SQL rows to HTML rows. You must write the code to begin and end the HTML table. There are nine versions of this procedure:
The first version passes the results of a query into an index table. Perform the query and CELLSPRINT does the formatting. To have more control in generating an HTML table from the output of an SQL query, use the FORMAT_CELL Function in the "HTF" package.
The second and third versions display rows (up to the specified maximum) returned by the query or cursor.
The fourth and fifth versions exclude a specified number of rows from the HTML table. Use the fourth and fifth versions to scroll through result sets by saving the last row seen in a hidden form element.
The sixth through ninth versions are the same as the first four versions, except that they return a row count output parameter.
Syntax
OWA_UTIL.CELLSPRINT( p_colCnt IN INTEGER, p_resultTbl IN vc_arr,
p_format_numbers IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);
OWA_UTIL.CELLSPRINT( p_theQuery IN VARCHAR2, p_max_rows IN NUMBER DEFAULT 100, p_format_numbers IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL); OWA_UTIL.CELLSPRINT( p_theCursor IN INTEGER, p_max_rows IN NUMBER DEFAULT 100, p_format_numbers iN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL); OWA_UTIL.CELLSPRINT( p_theQuery IN VARCHAR2, p_max_rows IN NUMBER DEFAULT 100, p_format_numbers IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, p_skip_rec IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0, p_more_data OUT BOOLEAN); OWA_UTIL.CELLSPRINT( p_theCursor IN INTEGER, p_max_rows IN NUMBER DEFAULT 100, p_format_numbers IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, p_skip_rec IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0, p_more_data OUT BOOLEAN); OWA_UTIL.CELLSPRINT( p_theQuery IN VARCHAR2, p_max_rows IN NUMBER DEFAULT 100, p_format_numbers IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, p_reccnt OUT NUMBER); OWA_UTIL.CELLSPRINT( p_theCursor IN INTEGER, p_max_rows IN NUMBER DEFAULT 100, p_format_numbers IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, p_reccnt OUT NUMBER); OWA_UTIL.CELLSPRINT( p_theQuery IN VARCHAR2, p_max_rows IN NUMBER DEFAULT 100, p_format_numbers IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, p_skip_rec IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0, p_more_data OUT BOOLEAN p_reccnt OUT NUMBER); OWA_UTIL.CELLSPRINT( p_theCursor IN INTEGER, p_max_rows IN NUMBER DEFAULT 100, p_format_numbers IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, p_skip_rec IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0, p_more_data OUT BOOLEAN, p_reccnt OUT NUMBER);

This procedure generates an HTML selection list form element from the output of a SQL query. There are two versions of this procedure.
The first version contains a hard-coded SQL query.
The second version uses a dynamic query prepared with the BIND_VARIABLES Function.
Syntax
OWA_UTIL.LISTPRINT( p_theQuery IN VARCHAR2, p_cname IN VARCHAR2, p_nsize IN NUMBER, p_multiple IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE); OWA_UTIL.LISTPRINT( p_theCursor IN INTEGER, p_cname IN VARCHAR2, p_nsize IN NUMBER, p_multiple IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);
Parameters
Table 179-7 LISTPRINT Procedure Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
p_theQuery |
The SQL query. |
p_theCursor |
The cursor ID. This can be the return value from the BIND_VARIABLES Function. |
p_cname |
The name of the HTML form element. |
p_nsize |
The size of the form element (this controls how many items the user can see without scrolling). |
p_multiple |

Usage Notes
The columns in the output of the query are handled in the following manner:
The first column specifies the values that are sent back. These values are for the VALUE attribute of the OPTION tag.
The second column specifies the values that the user sees.
The third column specifies whether or not the row is marked as SELECTED in the OPTION tag. If the value is not NULL, the row is selected.
Examples
<SELECT NAME="p_cname" SIZE="p_nsize"> <OPTION SELECTED value='value_from_the_first_column'>value_from_the_second_column <OPTION SELECTED value='value_from_the_first_column'>value_from_the_second_column ... </SELECT>
This procedure changes the default MIME header that the script returns. This procedure must come before any HTP.PRINT or HTP.PRN calls to direct the script not to use the default MIME header.
Syntax
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER( ccontent_type IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'text/html', bclose_header IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE, ccharset IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);
Parameters
Table 179-8 MIME_HEADER Procedure Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
ccontent_type |
The MIME type to generate |
| bclose_header | Whether or not to close the HTTP header. If TRUE, two newlines are sent, which closes the HTTP header. Otherwise, one newline is sent, and the HTTP header remains open. |
| ccharset | The character set to use.The character set only makes sense if the MIME type is of type 'text'. Therefore, the character set is only tagged on to the Content-Type header only if the MIME type passed in is of type 'text'. Any other MIME type, such as 'image', will not have any character set tagged on. |
Examples
Content-type: <ccontent_type>; charset=<ccharset>
so that
owa_util.mime_header('text/plain', false, 'ISO-8859-4')
generates
Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-4\n
This procedure generates all the CGI environment variables and their values made available by the PL/SQL Gateway to the stored procedure.
Syntax
OWA_UTIL.PRINT_CGI_ENV;
Examples
This procedure generates a list in the following format:
cgi_env_var_name = value\n
This procedure specifies that the application server is to visit the specified URL. The URL may specify either a web page to return or a program to execute.
Syntax
OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL( curl IN VARCHAR2 bclose_header IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE);
Parameters
Table 179-9 REDIRECT_URL Function Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
curl |
The URL to visit. |
| bclose_header | Whether or not to close the HTTP header. If TRUE, two newlines are sent, which closes the HTTP header. Otherwise, one newline is sent, and the HTTP header remains open. |
Usage Notes
This procedure must come before any HTP procedure or HTF function call.
Examples
This procedure generates
Location: <curl>\n\n
This procedure prints out the HTML output of a procedure in SQL*Plus. The procedure must use the HTP or HTF packages to generate the HTML page, and this procedure must be issued after the HTP or HTF page-generating subprogram has been called and before any other HTP or HTF subprograms are directly or indirectly called.
Syntax
OWA_UTIL.SHOWPAGE;
Usage Notes
This method is useful for generating pages filled with static data.
This procedure uses the DBMS_OUTPUT package and is limited to 32767 characters for each line and an overall buffer size of 1,000,000 bytes.
Examples
The output of htp procedure is displayed in SQL*Plus, SQL*DBA, or Oracle Server Manager. For example:
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> spool gretzky.html
SQL> execute hockey.pass("Gretzky")
SQL> execute owa_util.showpage
SQL> exit
This would generate an HTML page that could be accessed from Web browsers.
This procedure prints the source of the specified procedure, function, or package. If a procedure or function which belongs to a package is specified, then the entire package is displayed.

ctable |
The database table. |
cattributes |
Other attributes to be included as-is in the tag. |
ntable_type |
How to generate the table. Specify HTML_TABLE to generate the table using <TABLE> tags or PRE_TABLE to generate the table using the <PRE> tags. These are constants:
|
ccolumns |
A comma-delimited list of columns from ctable to include in the generated table. |
cclauses |
WHERE or ORDER BY clauses, which specify which rows to retrieve from the database table, and how to order them. |
ccol_aliases |
A comma-delimited list of headings for the generated table. |
nrow_min |
The first row, of those retrieved, to display. |
nrow_max |
The last row, of those retrieved, to display. |
Return Values
Returns TRUE if there are more rows beyond the nrow_max requested, FALSE otherwise.
Usage Notes
RAW columns are supported, but LONG RAW columns are not. References to LONG RAW columns will print the result 'Not Printable'.
Note that in this function, cattributes is the second rather than the last parameter.
Examples
For browsers that do not support HTML tables, create the following procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE showemps IS
ignore_more BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
ignore_more := OWA_UTIL.TABLEPRINT('emp', 'BORDER', OWA_UTIL.PRE_TABLE);
END;
Requesting a URL such as
http://myhost:7777/pls/hr/showemps
returns to the following to the client:

To view the employees in department 10, and only their employee ids, names, and salaries, create the following procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE showemps_10 IS
ignore_more BOOLEAN;
begin
ignore_more := OWA_UTIL.TABLEPRINT
('EMP', 'BORDER', OWA_UTIL.PRE_TABLE,
'empno, ename, sal', 'WHERE deptno=10 ORDER BY empno',
'Employee Number, Name, Salary');
END;
A request for a URL like
http://myhost:7777/pls/hr/showemps_10
would return the following to the client:
<PRE> ------------------------------------- | Employee Number |Name | Salary | ------------------------------------- | 7782 | CLARK | 2450 | | 7839 | KING | 5000 | | 7934 | MILLER | 1300 | ------------------------------------- </PRE>
For browsers that support HTML tables, to view the department table in an HTML table, create the following procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE showdept IS
ignore_more BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
ignore_more := oWA_UTIL.TABLEPRINT('dept', 'BORDER');
END;
A request for a URL like
http://myhost:7777/pls/hr/showdept
would return the following to the client:
<TABLE BORDER> <TR> <TH>DEPTNO</TH> <TH>DNAME</TH> <TH>LOC</TH> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">10</TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">ACCOUNTING</TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">NEW YORK</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">20</TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">RESEARCH</TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">DALLAS</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">30</TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">SALES</TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">CHICAGO</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">40</TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">OPERATIONS</TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT">BOSTON</TD> </TR> </TABLE>
A Web browser would format this to look like the following table:
| DEPTNO | DNAME | LOC |
|---|---|---|
10 |
ACCOUNTING |
NEW YORK |
20 |
RESEARCH |
DALLAS |
30 |
SALES |
