Select list oracle apex second value

When I create a Select list based on a SQL query it asks for 2 columns. For example I did something like: select itemcode, itemname from items in a select list called LST_ITEMS. I need to retrieve or get both of the values when I call it with :LST_ITEMS.

Solution

  • You can write query as:

    select itemname display_value, 
       itemcode || ':' || itemname return_value
  from items

    After that you will get combined value in :LST_ITEMS variable. You can parse it in PL/SQL code further. For example:

    declare
   code number;
   name varchar2(100);
begin
   code = substr(:LST_ITEMS, 1, instr(:LST_ITEMS, ':') - 1);
   name = substr(:LST_ITEMS, instr(:LST_ITEMS, ':') + 1);
end;
