1) Table type value sets can be used to execute SQL queries and return values in Fast Formulas when direct database access is limited. 2) A value set was created with a query to check if an element entry exists for a given person ID and effective date. 3) The Fast Formula code calls the GET_VALUE_SET function, passing the value set name and parameters to return the result.

1. Execute SQL Query in Fast Formula or Get Value Set Value in Fast
Formula
Database Items are limited for any kind of Fast Formula.
Apart from Oracle offered database items, we are not able
to get the values.
For this kind of values which are not able to get by using
database items, we can get it by executing query using
table type value set.
Requirement:
Check Element Entry Value on Particular Effective Date.
Solution:
Step 1:
Create Table Type value set with query which needed to be
executed from Fast Formula.

2. Where Clause:

3. Parameter which needed to pass from fast formula should
be in “: {PARAMETER.PARAMETER_NAME}”
i.e.,
PEEF.person_id=: {PARAMETER.PERSON_ID}
AND PEEF.ELEMENT_TYPE_ID in
(300000001208613,300000001344773)
AND to_date(:{PARAMETER.EFF_DATE},'YYYY/MM/
DD') BETWEEN PEEF.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE AND
PEEF.EFFECTIVE_END_DATE
Step 2: Fast Formula Code to get the value from the query
l_element_entry_exists =
GET_VALUE_SET('ADIB_HOUSING_ELEMENT_EXIST','
|=PERSON_ID='''||L_Person_Id_char||''''||'|EFF_DATE='''||
l_effective_date1||'''')
Limitation:
Value set is not bringing proper value in Fast Formula, if query is
exceeding certain amount of characters.
