Text field with autocomplete oracle apex

I have created a function that outputs a nested table based on the email entered in a page element. The values are fetched from the ldap. The function works and when I call it, I get the desired values from the LDAP.

Now I have created a page element in which the email can be entered. This is of the type Text Field with autocomplete with the following SQL query in the Shared Component:

SELECT MAIL,USERNAME
from table(LDAP_SEARCH_BY_MAIL(:P7_EMAIL));

As display and return type I have selected mail.

However, when entering the mail, I do not get any suggestions based on the input. What am I missing here?

Solution

  • The Text Field with autocomplete will accept only one column in the select query.

    For example: SELECT employee_name FROM t_empolyees;

    In the query that you have mentioned you have selected two columns.

    Display and Return values are only for Select List and LOV's.
