displaying long text fields gracefully

B.DelméeNov 6 2013

Hello, I have a collection of forms that gather data in a questionnaire-like manner.

Many fields are more or less free text, often collected using a textarea.

Modern browsers allow the use to resize the field when more room is needed, fine.

Now in other parts of the application I need to produce reports that display this information and I am wondering how to best do this.

If I use text/textarea items, I must either oversize to support the maximum permitted field length, or risk truncating.

Can someone suggest a way to show all content in a space-efficient way?

Perhaps using some javascript to resize the item according to content,

or if needs be, by calling PL/SQL procedures that should emit HTML to embed in regions...

i don't see that behavior, also on 4.1.3

Hi Jeff,

It seems to be program specific problem.

We have an old ETL Tools called Sagent and it seems all queries fired from that tool are coming in this one-line format.

Notice the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom.

Please don't mind the Master layout of the Session Monitor, which I adjust to be more informational with Gauge Bar and so on.

For the time being, I need to open another worksheet, copy and paste that line and use Ctrl + F7 to re-format.

Thank you for clarifying.

Hi Jeff,

On second thought.

I need to unmark as correct.

Probably this problem happened on DML command (insert / update / delete) only.

Here is another example, query coming from user tool (PL/SQL Developer).

I try to dig into the query for "Active SQL" and try to execute it myself on worksheet.

Notice the SID = 2024 which I get from the above.

I thought that it will return one line, which justify why SQL Dev show single line output.

However, as you can see it is not.

The question still hold.

you customized the report...does it do this on the original Tools > Monitor Session screen?

Buntoro

I copy the Report from the Template (All Reports - Data Dictionary Reports - Database Administration - Sessions - Sessions).

And paste it under User Defined Reports, and name it Session Browser instead.

Every time I open Tools - Monitor Sessions, it seems to be pointing out to the User Defined Reports - Session Browser (the one that I modified).

what's the sql behind your report? compare it to mine in the screenshot up top

tools > monitor sessions going to your custom report...that would be weird. maybe something else is happening

Hi Jeff,

Mine is :

select replace(q.SQL_TEXT, chr(0), chr(10) || chr(13)) sql_text

  from gv$session s, v$sqltext_with_newlines q

where  s.sql_address = q.address

  and  s.sql_hash_value = q.hash_value

  and  s.sid = :SID

order by q.piece

I also tried yours too. But on detail tab produces the same result.

select replace(q.SQL_FULLTEXT,chr(0)) sql_text

  from gv$session s, gv$sql q

where  s.sql_address = q.address

  and  s.sql_hash_value = q.hash_value

  and  s.sid = :SID

FYI, if executed on Worksheet

My query will produce multiple rows result

Your query will produce single line result

Nevertheless, both produce the same single line output on Detail tab.

Regards,

Buntoro
