Executive Summary
This utility report generates the SQL syntax required to include standard Oracle EBS record history columns (Who columns) in a query, based on a provided table alias.
Business Challenge
When developing custom SQL reports in Oracle EBS, developers frequently need to include the standard “Who” columns (Created By, Creation Date, Last Updated By, Last Update Date, Last Update Login) to track record history. Manually typing these columns for every table alias is repetitive and prone to typos.
Solution
The Blitz Report Record History SQL Text Creation tool automates this process. By simply inputting the table alias and an optional prefix, it generates the exact SQL code snippet needed to select these columns, formatted correctly with the specified alias.
Key Features
- Generates SQL for standard record history columns:
creation_date,created_by,last_update_date,last_updated_by,last_update_login. - Accepts a user-defined table alias to prefix the columns.
- Allows for an optional prefix to be added to the column aliases, useful when joining multiple tables with history columns.
Technical Details
The report uses a simple query against the dual table to concatenate the input parameters into the required SQL string format. It outputs a text string that can be directly copied and pasted into a SQL editor or report definition.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
