Oracle APEX - Using LOVs in Queries and PL/SQL
I was struggling to find out how I could create SQL Queries in APEX so that I could translate from values that are in LOVs. Then I crossed paths with the function APEX_ITEM.TEXT_FROM_LOV which does exactly what I was looking for. So this is my tip: if you want to translate a value from the database into a value that is in a LOV, use this really nice function!
