ANY Types, Pipelined Table Functions, Dynamic SQL and Pivot
Amazing what you can do with ANYTYPE, ANYDATA, ANYDATASET, DBMS_TYPES, DBMS_SQL and pipelined table functions implemented using the interface approach. You can end up with a dynamic sql mashup like you’ve never seen before, and pivot like you’ve never pivoted before. Of course, if you’re on Oracle DB 10g or below, you can never pivot like this.

Hi I would like you to help me to come up with desired results for this report.I am currently preparing a script in SQL for people who has attended course now what i want the report to do is to highlight the entire row green if the column STATUS contains the value ‘ NOT ATTENDED’,Im thinking of a coding like this select case when status “Attended’ then backcolor = green else status end case
the second one is this field called Cost_per_person is captured in string data type and other values are having ‘R’ before(R4562,00) and the comma is not used to separate thousand is for hundrends instead.Now i want to convert all the numbers to decimal and leave those rows that contains characters(‘NOT YET PAID’).I want to have a code like this one select CASE WHEN f.segment10 = string then REPLACE (CAST (f.segment10 AS VARCHAR (10)), ‘R’, ‘ ‘ ) when f.segment10 = varchar then convert(To_decimal(8,2),f.segment10 ) ELSE f.segment10 END cost_per_person, your response will be highly appreciated.
