1. What is dynamic sql?
Ans:-
pl/sql uses early binding , so we cant execute DDL statements in pl/sql.
To
over come this situation we have two options
1> we can use EXECUTE IMMIDIATE statement
2> we can use DBMS_SQL package
2. Tell me 5 important
tables in GL (GENERAL LEDGER)

program where it can be linked to the
report builder executable
There are 3 types of user interfaces
a>
ORACLE user interfaces
b>
OCI (Oracle Caller Interface)
c>
None-Oracle user exit
4. What are the User
Parameters in User Exits?
srw.user_exit ('FND SRWINIT');
user exit is the mandatory
parameter in srw.user_exit
5. How many interfaces in
GL, AP what are they?
3 interfaces in GL.
6. Is it possible to use User Exits in Report builder? How.
Yes,
In BEFORE REPORT we call srw.user_exit ('FND
SRWINIT')
In AFTER REPORT we call srw.user_exit ('FND
SRWEXIT')
7. Diff between functions
and procedures
Procedure is called as pl/sql statement
Function is called as an expression and it
can called from SELECT statement.
8. Diff between
ap_invoice_all and ap_invoice
The _all tables are sharable in multi
oraganization environment and it contains ORG_ID field.
Ex: fnd_client_info.set_org_context(‘204’) ;
10. Place holder, summary
columns, formulae columns?
Place holder is a column for which you set
the data type and value in PL/SQL that u define.
This can be used in BEFORE REPORT Trigger, if
the placeholder is a report level trigger.
A report level formula column, if the place
holder is a report_level column
A formula in the placeholder's group or a
group below it (The value is set only once for each record
of
the group).
A summary column can be either report level
or group level is used to get the value
of built in function on a single column.
A formula column can be either report level
or group level is used to get the values
from one or more columns.

It is a server side enhancement where
multiple business units can use a single Installation of oracle product.

ORGANIZATION_ID is stored in inventories. There is one-to-many relationship
between them.
12. Lexical parameters and
bind parameters?
Lexical
parameter is a replacement of text string in select statement, it is preceded
by & (ampersand).
For
this we need to create user parameter, It should be character and initialized.
We need to pass the values at runtime for this lexical parameter.
Bind parameter is a replacement of single value or expression in select
statement. It is preceded by
colon(:). It can be number, date, or character data type .It cannot be used in
FROM clause.
13. How can we execute the
query in the report trigger?
Using SRW.DO_SQL we can execute the DDL and
DML queries.

procedure executes the specified SQL statement from within Report Builder.
The
SQL statement can be DDL, or DML (statements that manipulate data).
