Hello ,
I am trying to pass the parameter in Oracle SQL in pagianted report using Oracle Database conneciton. But i am getting missing expression error or syntax errors. where ABC = @ParameterName
the expression is working with ODBC conneciton (preview).
Could you please help me with the correct paramterter expression with Oracle database.
Thank you,
Paramjit

Hi @Paramjit ,
Please use ":" instead of "@" like so:
where ABC = :ParameterName.
SQL Server uses an @ sign for the parameters, but Oracle uses a : (colon) to prefix it’s parameters.

Is there a way to pass multiple parameters? So I want to do a direct query to the Oracle database through Paginated reports but I want the user to be able to query on Order Number OR Customer name or both. I got it to run but it returns no results because if I enter an Order number but not a customer name, it sends null to the customer name and then returns no results for the query because the customer name is populated for that order number I tried to lookup. Thanks.
Hi @moldepc
Did you ever get queries to work with the option of having user input multiple parameters for ex. Customer and Country, where either might be left blank ?
Hi Everyone,
