Oracle - Word bookmark [message #586982]

Hello everyone,

I have opened this topic just to get your ideas which would maybe guide me.
I am actually collecting data from Oracle and create bookmarks on a word document which correspond to these data and auto-complete it.

I had not any important problem until that I had a case where I do not know the number of data I am going to get in the end.
So I would like to know if you guys have an idea on how to solve this problem.
I do not know how much bookmarks I should create as I don't know the number of rows I am going to get after executing my query.

Thanks in advance,

We have no idea of what you have and where the problem is.
Is this a design problem?
Is this a SQL problem?
Is this a programming language problem? Which language?
What is your Oracle version?
...

Note that "create bookmarks in a Word document" has nothing to do with Oracle unless you can define it in Oracle words.

The bookmark that I create takes its information from the database.
I am writing the variable with the same name of bookmark and the system corresponds them.

Select
name "FULL_NAME" --> its bookmark on the word document is FULL_NAME

but how to react when I do not know number of rows I am getting, for ex:

Select
Assistants "Assistant_name" --> If there are more than 1 assistant I should create another bookmark automatically

well this is my situation...

Well I do create the bookmark on Word Document. So how would I do that on Word?
The bookmarks are totally done from Word so I do not have a query or smthing special for Word to create its own bookmarks? maybe is that what I need?

o.k let me try to be more clear,

There are two things :

Oracle Database
Word Document
A web interface

The aim is to create standard letters from the information on DB.
For example, in the left part of letter its writen: FROM TO : Mr. Bla Bla
this Mr. Bla Bla I am getting it from database with a query : select ownerName from owners where ownerkey = PARENTKEY
The parentkey comes automatically from the web interface, it gets the ownerkey and replace it so the query works

how was I getting my oracle version? damn..

OK, I understand you have a word document with variable fields and you get the values for these fields from the Oracle database.
Now what is the problem you are trying to solve?

Could you post an example? Maybe a Word document screenshot and Oracle test case. I have difficulties in understanding what you are doing.

O.K
Until now I always had situation where the number of rows I was getting for a bookmark was NOT important.
If there were two owners, I could list them under the same bookmark.
However now, I should add a signature bookmark for each row that I get.
If I try to adapt it to the example I just gave you:

FROM TO : MR. Bla Bla
FROM TO : MR. Blba bla2
FROM TO : MR. Bla Bla
.
. and so on...

I do not know the number of rows I'll get but I need a specific bookmark for all of them, I can not list them under the same bookmark like
FROM TO: Mr. Bla
Mr. Bla Bla2
Mr. Bla Bla3
This was easier, but now I need what I have shown before.

thanks

mark a document or a specific place in a document for later retrieval. Nearly all Web browsers support a bookmarking feature that lets you save the address (URL) of a Web page so that you can easily re-visit the page at a later time.
In a word document, it means you can just go find the bookmarked places easier.

Yes you try but, as Blackswan, I still don't understand.
Oracle contains rows.
It knows nothing about your Word document.
It knows nothing about the relation you want to make between its rows and your Word document.

A MS Word bookmark, as I know it, is a way to quickly visit previously marked text. (I created a short walkthrough; have a look at the image attached, if you are interested. Won't help at all in this very problem, but a little bit of education won't hurt).

However, reviewing @atirtil's screenshots, it doesn't look like a bookmark but rather a mail merge problem. For example: you are getting married and want to invite 200 people. You could do that copy/pasting the same text 200 times and replacing previous name with a new one, but that's a boring and tedious job. Therefore, you create a list of people (in any text editor, including MS Word or even Excel), create a template and simply "merge" that template with the list, and there you are - 200 letters ready to be printed.

Now: source for the list could be an Oracle database table. Using ODBC, it should be possible to merge SELECT's results with a Word document. Personally, I've never done that. Here are Google search results. I took a look at some of them, but can't decide which one would be the "best".

On the other hand, maybe it is not about mail merge at all so I missed the point completely. Either way, I don't have much to offer, sorry.
