The function below allows you to split a string separated by a specified character. It returns the chunk that you request.

[pre]
myStr := SPLIT_STRING_BY_TOKEN('red:blue:green',':',2)
[/pre]

This function call above returns the 2nd chunk in the string which results in 'blue'.]]> Oracle Fri, 23 Apr 2010 13:02:00 +0000 http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-39.html http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-35.html

If the wizard creates the chart you want then you are lucky. Modifying the chart or doing any customisation usually involves editing the raw XML definition. However, there is almost no decent documentation available for tweaking the XML and is something of a black art.

So I created the Oracle BI Publisher Chart Generator.]]> Oracle Thu, 14 Jan 2010 20:17:00 +0000 http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-29.html http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-12.html
For example the query below :

[pre]
SELECT * FROM TBL_COLOURS WHERE colour = 'Red&Blue';
[/pre]

would result in a pop-up window asking for a value for "&Blue".]]> Oracle Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:22:00 +0000 http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-12.html
