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

3. What are User
Exits
A user exit is a 3rd Genaration Language
program where it can be linked to the

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.

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.
11. Multi org
concepts?
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.
This
procedure executes the specified SQL statement from within Report Builder.
The
SQL statement can be DDL, or DML (statements that manipulate data).
14. Firing sequence
