drop table tag;
create table tag (name varchar2(20), num_results_per_tag number);
insert into tag (name, num_results_per_tag) values (’apple’, 20);
insert into tag (name, num_results_per_tag) values (’oracle’, 1);
insert into tag (name, num_results_per_tag) values (’banana’, 5);
insert into tag (name, num_results_per_tag) values (’kiwi’, 43);
insert into tag (name, num_results_per_tag) values (’pawpaw’, 7);
insert into tag (name, num_results_per_tag) values (’pear’, 30);
insert into tag (name, num_results_per_tag) values (’starfruit’, 8);
insert into tag (name, num_results_per_tag) values (’mangosteen’, 3);
insert into tag (name, num_results_per_tag) values (’rambutan’, 10);
insert into tag (name, num_results_per_tag) values (’coconut’, 13);
insert into tag (name, num_results_per_tag) values (’durian’, 13);
– Number of different size fonts that can be displayed
define numFontSizesInCloud = 5
– Number of tags to be displayed
var num_tags number
exec :num_tags := 7
Now run Maggie’s query, after changing the PHP variable
$numFontSizesInCloud to a SQL*Plus variable &numFontSizesInCloud
My output is:
TAG_NAME NUM_RESULTS_PER_TAG FONT_SIZE
