Save shuttle item

PatrickLMar 18 2014 — edited Mar 19 2014

Hello,

I'm trying to save the content of a shuttle item. I´m using a "Save"-Button which triggers a Process (PL/SQL anonymous block).

The content of the shuttle item shall be stored into a table.

Filling the shuttle item with a computation works. Storing new items that have been draged from the left side to the right side works as well.

Unfortunately I´m not able to delete an existing item of the right side.

If I remove an item from the right side to the left side and click the "Save"-Button, I got the error "ORA-01722: invalid number".

I´m using the following PL/SQL block:

DECLARE

  v_count        NUMBER  := 0;

  v_shuttle_ids  VARCHAR2(1000);

  v_shuttle      APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;

BEGIN

  v_shuttle := APEX_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(:P47_PFLANZLICHE_HERKUNFT);

  FOR i in 1 .. v_shuttle.count LOOP

    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO v_count FROM rjm.material_objekte WHERE objekte_id = :P47_OBJEKTE_ID AND material_id = v_shuttle(i);

    IF v_count = 0 THEN

      INSERT INTO rjm.material_objekte (objekte_id, material_id) VALUES (:P47_OBJEKTE_ID, v_shuttle(i));

    END IF;

    v_shuttle_ids := v_shuttle_ids || v_shuttle(i) || ',';

  END LOOP;

  

  v_shuttle_ids := SUBSTR(v_shuttle_ids, 0, LENGTH(v_shuttle_ids) - 1);

  DELETE FROM rjm.material_objekte WHERE objekte_id = :P47_OBJEKTE_ID AND material_id NOT IN (v_shuttle_ids);

END;

The Delete-Statement fails, because the datatypes are not compatible. The variable v_shuttle_ids has the datatype VARCHAR2 and the database column material_id has the datatype NUMBER.

Has anybody a solution for the issue (for example casting the datatypes) or has a better way of deleting existing items in the shuttle item?

Thank you in advance,

Patrick
