Oracle SQL Reference
There used to be a great site 'Oracle 9i SQL reference' formerly linked at: http://oradoc.photo.net/ora81/DOC/server.815/a67779/index.htm
It included a full syntax of all SQL commands, such as the Create Tablespace, giving and explaining all options for the command. Does anyone know what happened to this reference ? I assume that with 9i, it got replaced - but I do not know where to find it.
Any ideas ?: [email protected]
If you go to http://tahiti.oracle.com, Oracle has put all their documentation online. There's a section for the 9.2 documentation, the 9.0 documentation, and the 8.1.7 documentation. This includes a SQL Reference and a PL/SQL Reference.

I am not able to find this SQL Reference. I have followed your instructions and looked at the following without luck:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/sql_plus/index.html
http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/index.html#previousHi Debbie,
Apologies for the delay in resonding to you.
I'm not sure which version of the Reference you are seeking. However, if you are looking for the 8.1.7 release, then this is the path you can use on the Documentation pages.
Go to the Previous releases section on the OTN Documentation home page: http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/index.html#previous
Then click on: "Oracle8i Database Release 8.1.7".
This returns the Release 8.1.7 Documetation page. On this page you will find Documentation libraries, e.g. A87860_01. Click on the "View library" link.
Then click on the "Oracle8i Server and SQL*Plus" link. The Reference is then listed.
You can try this with any of the "view library" links on any of the Release 8i doc pages.
Regards,

I am new with Oracle and require the reference manual to find out more about join conditions. I have some difficulty finding a document from the Oracle web on SQL reference.
Oracle 7 is out of support, thats why it is no longer online available.
But to find out more about join conditions you can search the 8i and 9i documentation on
http://tahiti.oracle.com -
How to open a package body in Oracle sql developer
How to open a package body in Oracle sql developer..any shortcut for that
I need another way to get to my package body. I'm on a locked down system, so the only way I can reference anything is if I already know the name of it. I accidentally overwrote my text document that I was using to work on it and I closed out of the package body in sqldeveloper. There must be a command, like an alter or some such. Anyone know the old fashioned way of looking at a package?

Issue with java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.sql.StructDescriptor
Hi ,
I'm creating a dbadapter for a custom API written in APPS schema -
TYPE MISIPM_LOB IS RECORD (
FILE_ID IPM_LOBS.FILE_ID%TYPE,
FILE_NAME IPM_LOBS.LOB_NAME%TYPE );
TYPE MISIPM_LOB_LIST IS TABLE OF MISIPM_LOB;
PROCEDURE GET_FILE_ID_DETAILS(
P_SOURCE_SYSTEM IN VARCHAR2,
p_entity_value IN VARCHAR2,
p_entity_code IN VARCHAR2,
P_ORG_ID IN NUMBER,
P_MISIPM_FILES_LIST OUT MISIPM_LOB_LIST,
P_ERRCODE OUT VARCHAR2,
P_ERRMESSAGE OUT VARCHAR2);
From JDeveloper, there is a wrapper package is getting created and the compilation/deployment of this composite is also without any error.
But when I run the composite, I'm surprisingly getting the below error -
Exception occured when binding was invoked. Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: "JCA Binding execute of Reference operation 'GetAttachmentMetaData' failed due to: Interaction processing error. Error while processing the execution of the APPS.BPEL_GETATTACHMENTMETADATA1.XX_DELIVER_BLOB$GET_FILE_ API interaction. An error occurred while processing the interaction for invoking the APPS.BPEL_GETATTACHMENTMETADATA1.XX_DELIVER_BLOB$GET_FILE_ API. Cause: java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.sql.StructDescriptor Check to ensure that the XML containing parameter data matches the parameter definitions in the XSD. This exception is considered not retriable, likely due to a modelling mistake. ". The invoked JCA adapter raised a resource exception. Please examine the above error message carefully to determine a resolution.
I recreated the adapter multiple times within the composite and also tried to create a separate composite and all the cases the error message received was same. There two more similar procedure call's in the composite and all rest of them are working fine.
I can call the wrapper from sql script separately.
Verified that the XSD generated and the wrapper package parameters are matching as well.
Did anyone face the same issue or any explanation/help is much appreciated.

Issues using Oracle SQL server Developer migration work bench
Hi all,
We are trying to migrate the application databases from SQL server 2000 to Oracle 10g using Oracle SQL Developer 1.2.1.32.13:
Following is the list of issues that we faced while trying out this migration on dev environment.
1. The data migration was successful for only around 90 tables out of the total 166 tables present. No error message was logged for the rest of the tables but still it was completed.
2. Some of the tables which had got the data inserted did not have the full data. Only some of the rows were inserted for these tables. Error message was logged only for few of the rows and not all.
3. Few error messages were logged which said problems about “Inserting ' ' into column <tablename>.<columnname>”. There was no such constraint in the target database that the particular column can not be null or can not have only a space. Please check the logs for the same error messages.
4. The status box at the end of migration had shown only 3 errors.
5. The total data for migration was around 500MB. The time taken for migration was around 75 minutes. Are there any optimization techniques that will improve the performance?
Please note that there were no Foreign Key references for the source schema or target schema.
Any pointers/info/resolutions related to above mentioned issues will be much useful for us.
Thanks,Hi Adam,
There are 2 sets of scripts created for you.
1) For SQL Servers BCP to dump out the data to dat files
2) For Oracles SQL*Loader to load the dat files
You run the SQL Server BCP scripts on the machine with SQL Server.
The dat files will be dumped out on that server.
You can then move the dat files to your Oracle server.
Then run the Oracle SQL*Loader scripts to load the dat files into Oracle.
Give it a go and follow the doc and viewlets.
Your Questions:
So the datadump from the source location would be saved on my local disk?it will be saved on the same machine you run the bcp scripts from. Usually the same machine SQL Server is on, because you require SQL Server BCP tool.
So once it is migrated to the destination database will that dump be created automatically? Or do I need to modify the script to take care of this?I dont know what you mean by this, hopefully above clears things up.
The only modifications you need to make to the scripts are adding in the databasename username password servername. These are outlined in the scripts themselves. I would want to do something fancy like dump the dat files to a different directory, then you can modify the scripts, but you should understand what they do first.
Most people would have 500MB of space on their discs , so I can see the problem creating these dat files . The same goes for your 30 GB database.
I hope this helps, but as always you wont get a good idea of how it works until you give it a go.

Dermot. -

Looking at the ARRAY.toBytes() method:
public byte[] toBytes()
throws SQLException
synchronized (getInternalConnection())
return this.descriptor.toBytes(this, this.enableBuffering);
..., it synchronizes on the following method (getInternalConnection() -> getPhysicalConnection()):
oracle.jdbc.internal.OracleConnection getPhysicalConnection()
if (this.physicalConnection == null)
try
this.physicalConnection = ((oracle.jdbc.internal.OracleConnection)new OracleDriver().defaultConnection());
catch (SQLException localSQLException)
return this.physicalConnection;
defaultConnection() does the following:
public Connection defaultConnection()
throws SQLException
if ((defaultConn == null) || (defaultConn.isClosed()))
synchronized (OracleDriver.class)
if ((defaultConn == null) || (defaultConn.isClosed()))
defaultConn = connect("jdbc:oracle:kprb:", new Properties());
return defaultConn;
So there's synchronizations on the connection instance and OracleDriver.class object... I can't see how this can deadlock. To get to the point of needing the lock on OracleDriver.class, the thread would already have the lock on the connection instance.... clearly I'm missing something.
Thanks
Edited by: 928154 on 17-Apr-2012 03:42Welcome to the forum. If you want help, at least try to think where to post a question and look for a forum that matches the topic. Lets examine what you have:
- its Weblogic, so if you would ask a non-programming related question anywhere it would be in the Weblogic forum
- HOWEVER, if you check the top of the stacktrace, you'll see that the problem stems from the JDBC driver, so a JDBC related forum would be a closer match
For future reference, Weblogic specific questions should go here: https://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=193
and JDBC/OJDBC driver related questions should go here: Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)
Final tip: use \ tags to post code so it is readable. -
Using DEBUG Mode in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler to Log SQL
Hello,
I am looking for the possibilty to enable the logging of SQL in Data Modeler.
Jeff Smith wrote an article how to do this for SQL Developer, for Data Modeler there are other configuration files. Does anyone have an idea?
Best regards,
JoopHello Philip,
the URL to the article of Jeff is: http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/10/using-debug-mode-in-oracle-sql-developer-to-log-sql/
in the install directory of Data Modeler 3.3.0.734 exists a file datamodeler\datamodeler\bin\datamodeler.conf. This analogue the situation for sql Developer.
However in this file there is no reference to a (non)debug file.
In ide/bin directory there is a ide-logging-debug.conf and ide-logging.conf file. But they are not referenced. Should one of them be included?

Assertion in oracle sql developer
Hello all
im using oracle sql developer and oracle11g , how can i use assertion for my tables? i searched in internet but there were no useful information
thank u in advance
best,
david>
I think something like this: we use a primary key which is in another table, it should be included there,this is not assertion in oracle?
>
No. That is a foreign key constraint.
There are other types of constraints that you CAN use on tables such as check constraints.
See the 'Constraint' section in the SQL Language Doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/clauses002.htm
>
constraintPurpose
Use a constraint to define an integrity constraint—a rule that restricts the values in a database. Oracle Database lets you create six types of constraints and lets you declare them in two ways.
The six types of integrity constraint are described briefly here and more fully in "Semantics":
A NOT NULL constraint prohibits a database value from being null.
A unique constraint prohibits multiple rows from having the same value in the same column or combination of columns but allows some values to be null.
A primary key constraint combines a NOT NULL constraint and a unique constraint in a single declaration. It prohibits multiple rows from having the same value in the same column or combination of columns and prohibits values from being null.
A foreign key constraint requires values in one table to match values in another table.
A check constraint requires a value in the database to comply with a specified condition.
A REF column by definition references an object in another object type or in a relational table. A REF constraint lets you further describe the relationship between the REF column and the object it references.

Importing oracle.sql.BLOB through SQL Loader
Hello,
Currently the system we have creates .sql files and executes them. This takes a long time, so we're attempting to change to using SQL Loader. The one problem I'm having that I can't seem to fix is finding out how to imitate the behavior of this SQL statement through SQL Loader:
INSERT INTO KRSB_QRTZ_BLOB_TRIGGERS (BLOB_DATA,TRIGGER_GROUP,TRIGGER_NAME)
VALUES (oracle.sql.BLOB@515263,'KCB-Delivery','PeriodicMessageProcessingTrigger')
I tried creating a lobfile and placing the text oracle.sql.BLOB@515263 within it this way
INTO TABLE KRSB_QRTZ_BLOB_TRIGGERS
WHEN tablename = 'KRSB_QRTZ_BLOB_TRIGGERS'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '##'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
tablename FILLER POSITION(1),
TRIGGER_NAME CHAR(80),
TRIGGER_GROUP CHAR(80),
ext_fname FILLER,
BLOB_DATA LOBFILE(ext_fname) TERMINATED BY EOF
However, as expected, it merely loaded the text "oracle.sql.BLOB@515263" into the database. So does anyone have any ideas of how to imitate that insert statement through SQL Loader? The only information I have available is the string "oracle.sql.BLOB@515263", no other files or anything to aid with actually getting the binary data.
When the .sql file is run with that insert statement in it, a 1.2kb BLOB is inserted into the database versus a 22 byte BLOB that contains nothing useful when done through SQL Loader.
AlexMy preference is DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/dbms_lob.html
did you try it? -
Hi,
I have a database table(say MY_BLOB_TABLE.) having one blob column
I want to send each blob column as an attachment to a single email i.e. I for a particular case if I have 10 qualifying rows in MY_BLOB_TABLE,I want to send all these 10 blobs as different attachments with a SINGLE email.
I have the working code (from asktom) that allows me to send one attchment per email ..so I changed the code so that it takes array types to the things..
here is my code:
Database Type:
create or replace type xx_blobdata is varray(50) of blob;
create or replace type xx_attachedfile is varray(50) of varchar2(1000);
create or replace type xx_attachedfiletype is varray(50) of varchar2(1000);
Java Code
public class xx_attachments_mail
static String dftMime = "application/octet-stream";
static String dftName = "filename.dat";
public static oracle.sql.NUMBER
send(String from,
String to,
String cc,
String bcc,
String subject,
String body,
String SMTPHost,
oracle.sql.BLOB[] attachmentData,
String[] attachmentType,
String[] attachmentFileName);
PLSQL Wrapper
create or replace function xx_attachments_mail_send(
p_from in varchar2,
p_to in varchar2,
p_cc in varchar2,
p_bcc in varchar2,
p_subject in varchar2,
p_body in varchar2,
p_smtp_host in varchar2,
p_attachment_data in xx_blobdata,
p_attachment_type in xx_attachedfiletype,
p_attachment_file_name in xx_attachedfile) return number
as
language java name 'xx_attachments_mail.send( java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,
oracle.sql.BLOB[],
java.lang.String[],
java.lang.String[]
) return oracle.sql.NUMBER';
Actual Call:
attachment_data :=xx_blobdata();
attachment_type :=xx_attachedfiletype();
attachment_name :=xx_attachedfile();
ret_code := xx_attachments_mail_send(
p_from => '[email protected]',
p_to => '[email protected]',
p_cc => NULL,
p_bcc => NULL,
p_subject => 'testing',
p_body => 'testing..',
p_smtp_host => 'myserver.com',
p_attachment_data => attachment_data,
p_attachment_type => attachment_type,
p_attachment_file_name => attachment_name);
Everything compiles. All objects are valid in database.But when I call I get the following error:
ORA-29531: no method send in class xx_attachments_mail
ORA-06512: at "XX_ATTACHMENTS_MAIL_SEND", line 1
Can anybody point out what is wrong that I am doing.
Thanks.Duplicate post:
Re: oracle.sql.BLOB array
Devang,
You asked:
Can anybody point out what is wrong that I am doing?Yes, I can.
VARRAY maps to "java.sql.Array" or "oracle.sql.ARRAY".
You can find more details in the JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference which is part of the Oracle documentation, as well as the JDBC sample code which can be accessed from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
Good Luck,

Oracle.sql.BLOB.freeTemporary() is not freeing TEMP space in the database
Hi Folks,
We are using oracle.sql.BLOB to store some file information into the database.
Allocation of the temp space is done as below
BLOB blob=BLOB.createTemporary(conn, false, BLOB.DURATION_SESSION); // this results in the usage of TEMP space from database
And subsequent release is done as below
blob.freeTemporary(); // this should have release the space from the database.
This is on Oracle 10g, Java 1.6, ojdbc6.jar There are no exceptions. Even a simple program results in the same.
Anybody faced something similar? Any pointers would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Deva
Edited by: user10728663 on Oct 11, 2011 5:33 AMThanks a lot for the information.
Memory is fine. And I am able to reproduce this within the scope of a simple example as well.
Would you have any reference to the thread which had earlier reported this as a bug. I tried a reasonable amount of search in the forum, but no success.
Thanks very much for any pointers. -
Suggested books/video series for learning oracle sql?
What are some good books/ videos for a beginner to learn oracle sql?
I learn best by being able to go through exercises.
I am using Oracle 11g express edition and sql developer. In sql developer I have only one connection to the HR schema.
Also, can I connect to the SCOTT schema in oracle 11g?Hi,
The SQL Language reference is a great book, but its a bit dry for a beginner.
How about starting with the Getting Started and 2 Day guides here
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/index.htm
There are a lot of tutorials here as well
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44785:1:0::NO
google will also bring up lots of hits as well

Oracle SQL and PL/SQL interview questions.
Can anyone forward me all Oracle SQL and PL/SQL Interview questions and answers asap.
Many Thanks.
BbaDear Pal
I not sure all the all answers are correct. I got one mail couple yrs back. I am just sharing mail contents. Kindly keep question and compare answers.
1 Which is more faster - IN or EXISTS?
EXISTS is more faster than IN because EXISTS returns a Boolean value whereas IN returns a value.
2 Which datatype is used for storing graphics and images?
LONG RAW data type is used for storing BLOB's (binary large objects).
3 When do you use WHERE clause and when do you use HAVING clause?
HAVING clause is used when you want to specify a condition for a group function and it is written after GROUP BY clause. The WHERE clause is used when you want to specify a condition for columns, single row functions except group functions and it is written before GROUP BY clause if it is used.
4 What WHERE CURRENT OF clause does in a cursor?
LOOPSELECT num_credits INTO v_numcredits FROM classesWHERE dept=123 and course=101;UPDATE studentsSET current_credits=current_credits+v_numcreditsWHERE CURRENT OF X;END LOOPCOMMIT;END;
5 What should be the return type for a cursor variable.Can we use a scalar data type as return type?
The return type for a cursor must be a record type.It can be declared explicitly as a user-defined or %ROWTYPE can be used. eg TYPE t_studentsref IS REF CURSOR RETURN students%ROWTYPE
6 What is use of a cursor variable? How it is defined?
A cursor variable is associated with different statements at run time, which can hold different values at run time. Static cursors can only be associated with one run time query. A cursor variable is reference type (like a pointer in C).Declaring a cursor variable:TYPE type_name IS REF CURSOR RETURN return_type type_name is the name of the reference type,return_type is a record type indicating the types of the select list that will eventually be returned by the cursor variable.
7 What is the purpose of a cluster?
Oracle does not allow a user to specifically locate tables, since that is a part of the function of the RDBMS. However, for the purpose of increasing performance, oracle allows a developer to create a CLUSTER. A CLUSTER provides a means for storing data from different tables together for faster retrieval than if the table placement were left to the RDBMS.
8 What is the maximum buffer size that can be specified using the DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE function?
1,000,00
9 What is syntax for dropping a procedure and a function .Are these operations possible?
Drop Procedure procedure_nameDrop Function function_name
10 What is OCI. What are its uses?
Oracle Call Interface is a method of accesing database from a 3GL program. Uses--No precompiler is required,PL/SQL blocks are executed like other DML statements. The OCI library provides· -functions to parse SQL statemets· -bind input variables· -bind output variables· -execute statements· -fetch the results
11 What is difference between UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints?
A table can have only one PRIMARY KEY whereas there can be any number of UNIQUE keys. The columns that compose PK are automatically define NOT NULL, whereas a column that compose a UNIQUE is not automatically defined to be mandatory must also specify the column is NOT NULL.
12 What is difference between SUBSTR and INSTR?
SUBSTR returns a specified portion of a string eg SUBSTR('BCDEF',4) output BCDEINSTR provides character position in which a pattern is found in a string. eg INSTR('ABC-DC-F','-',2) output 7 (2nd occurence of '-')
13 What is difference between SQL and SQL*PLUS?
SQL*PLUS is a command line tool where as SQL and PL/SQL language interface and reporting tool. Its a command line tool that allows user to type SQL commands to be executed directly against an Oracle database. SQL is a language used to query the relational database(DML,DCL,DDL). SQL*PLUS commands are used to format query result, Set options, Edit SQL commands and PL/SQL.
14 What is difference between Rename and Alias?
Rename is a permanent name given to a table or column whereas Alias is a temporary name given to a table or column which do not exist once the SQL statement is executed.
15 What is difference between a formal and an actual parameter?
The variables declared in the procedure and which are passed, as arguments are called actual, the parameters in the procedure declaration. Actual parameters contain the values that are passed to a procedure and receive results. Formal parameters are the placeholders for the values of actual parameters
16 What is an UTL_FILE.What are different procedures and functions associated with it?
UTL_FILE is a package that adds the ability to read and write to operating system files. Procedures associated with it are FCLOSE, FCLOSE_ALL and 5 procedures to output data to a file PUT, PUT_LINE, NEW_LINE, PUTF, FFLUSH.PUT, FFLUSH.PUT_LINE,FFLUSH.NEW_LINE. Functions associated with it are FOPEN, ISOPEN.
17 What is a view ?
A view is stored procedure based on one or more tables, its a virtual table.
18 What is a pseudo column. Give some examples?
It is a column that is not an actual column in the table.eg USER, UID, SYSDATE, ROWNUM, ROWID, NULL, AND LEVEL.
19 What is a OUTER JOIN?
Outer Join--Its a join condition used where you can query all the rows of one of the tables in the join condition even though they dont satisfy the join condition.
20 What is a cursor?
Oracle uses work area to execute SQL statements and store processing information PL/SQL construct called a cursor lets you name a work area and access its stored information A cursor is a mechanism used to fetch more than one row in a Pl/SQl block.
21 What is a cursor for loop?
Cursor For Loop is a loop where oracle implicitly declares a loop variable, the loop index that of the same record type as the cursor's record.
22 What are various privileges that a user can grant to another user?
· SELECT· CONNECT· RESOURCES
23 What are various constraints used in SQL?
· NULL· NOT NULL· CHECK· DEFAULT
24 What are ORACLE PRECOMPILERS?
Using ORACLE PRECOMPILERS, SQL statements and PL/SQL blocks can be contained inside 3GL programs written in C,C++,COBOL,PASCAL, FORTRAN,PL/1 AND ADA.The Precompilers are known as Pro*C,Pro*Cobol,...This form of PL/SQL is known as embedded pl/sql,the language in which pl/sql is embedded is known as the host language. The prcompiler translates the embedded SQL and pl/sql ststements into calls to the precompiler runtime library.The output must be compiled and linked with this library to creater an executable.
25 What are different Oracle database objects?
· TABLES· VIEWS· INDEXES· SYNONYMS· SEQUENCES· TABLESPACES etc
26 What are different modes of parameters used in functions and procedures?
· IN· OUT· INOUT
27 What are cursor attributes?
· %ROWCOUNT· %NOTFOUND· %FOUND· %ISOPEN
28 What a SELECT FOR UPDATE cursor represent. [ANSWER]SELECT......FROM......FOR......UPDATE[OF column-reference][NOWAIT] The processing done in a fetch loop modifies the rows that have been retrieved by the cursor. A convenient way of modifying the rows is done by a method with two parts: the FOR UPDATE clause in the cursor declaration, WHERE CURRENT OF CLAUSE in an UPDATE or declaration statement.
29 There is a string 120000 12 0 .125 , how you will find the position of the decimal place?
INSTR('120000 12 0 .125',1,'.')output 13
30 There is a % sign in one field of a column. What will be the query to find it?
'' Should be used before '%'.
31 Suppose a customer table is having different columns like customer no, payments.What will be the query to select top three max payments?
SELECT customer_no, payments from customer C1
WHERE 3<=(SELECT COUNT(*) from customer C2
WHERE C1.payment <= C2.payment)
32 minvalue.sql Select the Nth lowest value from a table
select level, min('col_name') from my_table where level = '&n' connect by prior ('col_name') <
'col_name')
group by level;
Example:
Given a table called emp with the following columns:
-- id number
-- name varchar2(20)
-- sal number
-- For the second lowest salary:
-- select level, min(sal) from emp
-- where level=2
-- connect by prior sal < sal
-- group by level
33 maxvalue.sql Select the Nth Highest value from a table
select level, max('col_name') from my_table where level = '&n' connect by prior ('col_name') >
'col_name')
group by level;
Example:
Given a table called emp with the following columns:
-- id number
-- name varchar2(20)
-- sal number
-- For the second highest salary:
-- select level, max(sal) from emp
-- where level=2
-- connect by prior sal > sal
-- group by level
34 How you will avoid your query from using indexes?
SELECT * FROM emp
Where emp_no+' '=12345;
i.e you have to concatenate the column name with space within codes in the where condition.
SELECT /*+ FULL(a) */ ename, emp_no from emp
where emp_no=1234;
i.e using HINTS
35 How you will avoid duplicating records in a query?
By using DISTINCT
36 How you were passing cursor variables in PL/SQL 2.2?
In PL/SQL 2.2 cursor variables cannot be declared in a package.This is because the storage for a cursor variable has to be allocated using Pro*C or OCI with version 2.2, the only means of passing a cursor variable to a PL/SQL block is via bind variable or a procedure parameter.
37 How you open and close a cursor variable.Why it is required?
OPEN cursor variable FOR SELECT...Statement
CLOSE cursor variable In order to associate a cursor variable with a particular SELECT statement OPEN syntax is used. In order to free the resources used for the query CLOSE statement is used.
38 How will you delete duplicating rows from a base table?
delete from table_name where rowid not in (select max(rowid) from table group by duplicate_values_field_name); or
delete duplicate_values_field_name dv from table_name ta where rowid <(select min(rowid) from table_name tb where ta.dv=tb.dv);
39 How do you find the numbert of rows in a Table ?
A bad answer is count them (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name)
A good answer is :-
'By generating SQL to ANALYZE TABLE table_name COUNT STATISTICS by querying Oracle System Catalogues (e.g. USER_TABLES or ALL_TABLES).
The best answer is to refer to the utility which Oracle released which makes it unnecessary to do ANALYZE TABLE for each Table individually.
40 Find out nth highest salary from emp table
SELECT DISTINCT (a.sal) FROM EMP A WHERE &N = (SELECT COUNT (DISTINCT (b.sal)) FROM EMP B WHERE a.sal<=b.sal);
For Eg:-
Enter value for n: 2
SAL
3700
41 Display the records between two range?
select rownum, empno, ename from emp where rowid in (select rowid from emp where rownum <=&upto minus select rowid from emp where rownum<&Start);
42 Display the number value in Words?
SQL> select sal, (to_char(to_date(sal,'j'), 'jsp'))
from emp;
the output like,
SAL (TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(SAL,'J'),'JSP'))
800 eight hundred
1600 one thousand six hundred
1250 one thousand two hundred fifty
If you want to add some text like, Rs. Three Thousand only.
SQL> select sal "Salary ",
(' Rs. '|| (to_char(to_date(sal,'j'), 'Jsp'))|| ' only.'))
"Sal in Words" from emp
Salary Sal in Words
800 Rs. Eight Hundred only.
1600 Rs. One Thousand Six Hundred only.
1250 Rs. One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty only.
43 Display Odd/ Even number of records
Odd number of records:
select * from emp where (rowid,1) in (select rowid, mod(rownum,2) from emp);
Output:-
1
3
5
Even number of records:
select * from emp where (rowid,0) in (select rowid, mod(rownum,2) from emp)
Output:-
2
4
6
44 Difference between procedure and function.
Functions are named PL/SQL blocks that return a value and can be called with arguments procedure a named block that can be called with parameter. A procedure all is a PL/SQL statement by itself, while a Function call is called as part of an expression.
45 Difference between NO DATA FOUND and %NOTFOUND
NO DATA FOUND is an exception raised only for the SELECT....INTO statements when the where clause of the querydoes not match any rows. When the where clause of the explicit cursor does not match any rows the %NOTFOUND attribute is set to TRUE instead.
46 Difference between database triggers and form triggers?
Data base trigger(DBT) fires when a DML operation is performed on a data base table. Form trigger(FT) Fires when user presses a key or navigates between fields on the screen
Can be row level or statement level No distinction between row level and statement level.
Can manipulate data stored in Oracle tables via SQL Can manipulate data in Oracle tables as well as variables in forms.
Can be fired from any session executing the triggering DML statements. Can be fired only from the form that define the trigger.
Can cause other database triggers to fire.Can cause other database triggers to fire, but not other form triggers.
47 Difference between an implicit & an explicit cursor.
PL/SQL declares a cursor implicitly for all SQL data manipulation statements, including quries that return only one row. However,queries that return more than one row you must declare an explicit cursor or use a cursor FOR loop.
Explicit cursor is a cursor in which the cursor name is explicitly assigned to a SELECT statement via the CURSOR...IS statement. An implicit cursor is used for all SQL statements Declare, Open, Fetch, Close. An explicit cursors are used to process multirow SELECT statements An implicit cursor is used to process INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and single row SELECT. .INTO statements.
48 Can you use a commit statement within a database trigger?
No.
49 Can the default values be assigned to actual parameters?
Yes
50 Can cursor variables be stored in PL/SQL tables.If yes how. If not why?
No, a cursor variable points a row which cannot be stored in a two-dimensional PL/SQL table.
51 Can a primary key contain more than one columns?
Yes
52 Can a function take OUT parameters. If not why?
No. A function has to return a value,an OUT parameter cannot return a value.
53 What are various joins used while writing SUBQUERIES?
Self join-Its a join foreign key of a table references the same table. Outer Join--Its a join condition used where One can query all the rows of one of the tables in the join condition even though they don't satisfy the join condition.
Equi-join--Its a join condition that retrieves rows from one or more tables in which one or more columns in one table are equal to one or more columns in the second table.
54 Differentiate between TRUNCATE and DELETE
TRUNCATE deletes much faster than DELETE
TRUNCATE
DELETE
It is a DDL statement It is a DML statement
It is a one way trip,cannot ROLLBACK One can Rollback
Doesn't have selective features (where clause) Has
Doesn't fire database triggers Does
It requires disabling of referential constraints. Does not require
1 What is PL/SQL ?
PL/SQL is a procedural language that has both interactive SQL and procedural programming language constructs such as iteration, conditional branching.
2 Write the order of precedence for validation of a column in a table ?
I. done using Database triggers.
ii. done using Integarity Constraints.
I & ii.
Exception :
3 Where the Pre_defined_exceptions are stored ?
In the standard package.
Procedures, Functions & Packages ;
4 What are % TYPE and % ROWTYPE ? What are the advantages of using these over datatypes?
% TYPE provides the data type of a variable or a database column to that variable.
% ROWTYPE provides the record type that represents a entire row of a table or view or columns selected in the cursor.
The advantages are : I. Need not know about variable's data type
ii. If the database definition of a column in a table changes, the data type of a variable changes accordingly.
5 What will happen after commit statement ?
Cursor C1 is
Select empno,
ename from emp;
Begin
open C1; loop
Fetch C1 into
eno.ename;
Exit When
C1 %notfound;-----
commit;
end loop;
end;
The cursor having query as SELECT .... FOR UPDATE gets closed after COMMIT/ROLLBACK.
The cursor having query as SELECT.... does not get closed even after COMMIT/ROLLBACK.
6 What is the basic structure of PL/SQL ?
PL/SQL uses block structure as its basic structure. Anonymous blocks or nested blocks can be used in PL/SQL.
7 What is Raise_application_error ?
Raise_application_error is a procedure of package DBMS_STANDARD which allows to issue an user_defined error messages from stored sub-program or database trigger.
8 What is Pragma EXECPTION_INIT ? Explain the usage ?
The PRAGMA EXECPTION_INIT tells the complier to associate an exception with an oracle error. To get an error message of a specific oracle error.

17 What is a cursor for loop ?
Cursor for loop implicitly declares %ROWTYPE as loop index,opens a cursor, fetches rows of values from active set into fields in the record and closes
when all the records have been processed.
eg. FOR emp_rec IN C1 LOOP
salary_total := salary_total +emp_rec sal;
END LOOP;
18 What is a cursor ? Why Cursor is required ?

% ROWTYPE provides the record type that represents a entire row of a table or view or columns selected in the cursor.
The advantages are : I. Need not know about variable's data type
ii. If the database definition of a column in a table changes, the data type of a variable changes accordingly.
5 What will happen after commit statement ?
Cursor C1 is
Select empno,
ename from emp;
Begin

Programmatic Constructs
Last Update: September 06, 2004
1 What are the different types of PL/SQL program units that can be defined and stored in ORACLE database ?
Procedures and Functions,Packages and Database Triggers.
2 What are the differences between Database Trigger and Integrity constraints ?
A declarative integrity constraint is a statement about the database that is always true. A constraint applies to existing data in the table and any statement that manipulates the table.
A trigger does not apply to data loaded before the definition of the trigger, therefore, it does not guarantee all data in a table conforms to the rules established by an associated trigger.
A trigger can be used to enforce transitional constraints where as a declarative integrity constraint cannot be used.
3 What is difference between Procedures and Functions ?
A Function returns a value to the caller where as a Procedure does not.
4 What is Database Trigger ?
A Database Trigger is procedure (set of SQL and PL/SQL statements) that is automatically executed as a result of an insert in,update to, or delete from a table.
5 What is a Procedure ?
A Procedure consist of a set of SQL and PL/SQL statements that are grouped together as a unit to solve a specific problem or perform a set of related tasks.
6 What is a Package ?
A Package is a collection of related procedures, functions, variables and other package constructs together as a unit in the database.
7 What are the uses of Database Trigger ?
Database triggers can be used to automatic data generation, audit data modifications, enforce complex Integrity constraints, and customize complex security authorizations.
8 What are the advantages of having a Package ?
Increased functionality (for example,global package variables can be declared and used by any proecdure in the package) and performance (for example all objects of the package are parsed compiled, and loaded into memory once)
1 With which function of summary item is the compute at options required?
percentage of total functions.
2 Why is it preferable to create a fewer no. of queries in the data model?
Because for each query, report has to open a separate cursor and has to rebind, execute and fetch data.
3 Why is a Where clause faster than a group filter or a format trigger?
Because, in a where clause the condition is applied during data retrieval than after retrieving the data.
4 Which parameter can be used to set read level consistency across multiple queries?
Read only.
5 Which of the two views should objects according to possession?
view by structure.
6 Which of the above methods is the faster method?
performing the calculation in the query is faster.
7 Where is the external query executed at the client or the server?
At the server.
8 Where is a procedure return in an external pl/sql library executed at the client or at the server?
At the client.
9 When do you use data parameter type?
When the value of a data parameter being passed to a called product is always the name of the record group defined in the current form. Data parameters are used to pass data to produts invoked with the run_product built-in subprogram.
10 When a form is invoked with call_form, Does oracle forms issues a save point?
Yes
11 What are the important difference between property clause and visual attributes?
Named visual attributes differ only font, color & pattern attributes, property clauses can contain this and any other properties. You can change the appearance of objects at run time by changing the named visual attributes programmatically , property clause assignments cannot be changed programmatically. When an object is inheriting from both a property clause and named visual attribute, the named visual attribute settings take precedence, and any visual attribute properties in the class are ignored.
12 What use of command line parameter cmd file?
It is a command line argument that allows you to specify a file that contain a set of arguments for r20run.
13 What is WHEN-Database-record trigger?
Fires when oracle forms first marks a record as an insert or an update. The trigger fires as soon as oracle forms determines through validation that the record should be processed by the next post or commit as an insert or update. c generally occurs only when the operators modifies the first item in the record, and after the operator attempts to navigate out of the item.
14 What is use of term?
The term file which key is correspond to which oracle report functions.
15 What is trigger associated with the timer?
When-timer-expired.
16 What is the use of transactional triggers?
Using transactional triggers we can control or modify the default functionality of the oracle forms.
17 What is the use of place holder column?
A placeholder column is used to hold calculated values at a specified place rather than allowing is to appear in the actual row where it has to appear.
18 What is the use of image_zoom built-in?
To manipulate images in image items.
19 What is the use of hidden column?
A hidden column is used to when a column has to embed into boilerplate text.
20 What is the use of break group?
A break group is used to display one record for one group ones. While multiple related records in other group can be displayed.
21 What is the remove on exit property?
For a modelless window, it determines whether oracle forms hides the window automatically when the operators navigates to an item in the another window.
22 What is the purpose of the product order option in the column property sheet?
To specify the order of individual group evaluation in a cross products.
23 What is the maximum no of chars the parameter can store?
The maximum no of chars the parameter can store is only valid for char parameters, which can be upto 64K. No parameters default to 23Bytes and Date parameter default to 7Bytes.
24 What is the main diff. bet. Reports 2.0 & Reports 2.5?
Report 2.5 is object oriented.
25 What is the frame & repeating frame?
A frame is a holder for a group of fields. A repeating frame is used to display a set of records when the no. of records that are to displayed is not known before.
26 What is the difference between OLE Server & Ole Container?
An Ole server application creates ole Objects that are embedded or linked in ole Containers ex. Ole servers are ms_word & ms_excel. OLE containers provide a place to store, display and manipulate objects that are created by ole server applications. Ex. oracle forms is an example of an ole Container.
27 What is the difference between object embedding & linking in Oracle forms?
In Oracle forms, Embedded objects become part of the form module, and linked objects are references from a form module to a linked source file.
28 What is the difference between boiler plat images and image items?
Boiler plate Images are static images (Either vector or bit map) that you import from the file system or database to use a graphical elements in your form, such as company logos and maps. Image items are special types of interface controls that store and display either vector or bitmap images. Like other items that store values, image items can be either base table items(items that relate directly to database columns) or control items. The definition of an image item is stored as part of the form module FMB and FMX files, but no image file is actually associated with an image item until the item is populate at run time.
29 What is the difference between $$DATE$$ & $$DBDATE$$ $$DBDATE$$ retrieves the current database date $$date$$ retrieves the current operating system date.
30 What is the diff. when Flex mode is mode on and when it is off?
When flex mode is on, reports automatically resizes the parent when the child is resized.
31 What is the diff. when confine mode is on and when it is off?
When confine mode is on, an object cannot be moved outside its parent in the layout.
32 What is the diff. bet. setting up of parameters in reports 2.0 reports 2.5?
LOVs can be attached to parameters in the reports 2.5 parameter form.
33 What is the advantage of the library?
Libraries provide a convenient means of storing client-side program units and sharing them among multiple applications. Once you create a library, you can attach it to any other form, menu, or library modules. When you can call library program units from triggers menu items commands and user named routine, you write in the modules to which you have attach the library. When a library attaches another library, program units in the first library can reference program units in the attached library. Library support dynamic loading-that is library program units are loaded into an application only when needed. This can significantly reduce the run-time memory requirements of applications.
34 What is term?
The term is terminal definition file that describes the terminal form which you are using r20run.
35 What is system.coordination_operation?
It represents the coordination causing event that occur on the master block in master-detail relation.
36 What is synchronize?
It is a terminal screen with the internal state of the form. It updates the screen display to reflect the information that oracle forms has in its internal representation of the screen.
37 What is strip sources generate options?
Removes the source code from the library file and generates a library files that contains only pcode. The resulting file can be used for final deployment, but can not be subsequently edited in the designer. ex. f45gen module=old_lib.pll userid=scott/tiger strip_source YES output_file
38 What is relation between the window and canvas views?
Canvas views are the back ground objects on which you place the interface items (Text items), check boxes, radio groups etc.,) and boilerplate objects (boxes, lines, images etc.,) that operators interact with us they run your form . Each canvas views displayed in a window.
39 What is pop list?
The pop list style list item appears initially as a single field (similar to a text item field). When the operator selects the list icon, a list of available choices appears.
40 What is new_form built-in?
When one form invokes another form by executing new_form oracle form exits the first form and releases its memory before loading the new form calling new form completely replace the first with the second. If there are changes pending in the first form, the operator will be prompted to save them before the new form is loaded.
41 What is lexical reference? How can it be created?
Lexical reference is place_holder for text that can be embedded in a sql statements. A lexical reference can be created using & before the column or parameter name.
42 What is forms_DDL?
Issues dynamic Sql statements at run time, including server side pl/SQl and DDL
43 What is difference between open_form and call_form?
when one form invokes another form by executing open_form the first form remains displayed, and operators can navigate between the forms as desired. when one form invokes another form by executing call_form, the called form is modal with respect to the calling form. That is, any windows that belong to the calling form are disabled, and operators cannot navigate to them until they first exit the called form.
44 What is bind reference and how can it be created?
Bind reference are used to replace the single value in sql, pl/sql statements a bind reference can be created using a (:) before a column or a parameter name.
45 What is an user exit used for?
A way in which to pass control (and possibly arguments ) form Oracle report to another Oracle products of 3 GL and then return control ( and ) back to Oracle reports.
46 What is an OLE?
Object Linking & Embedding provides you with the capability to integrate objects from many Ms-Windows applications into a single compound document creating integrated applications enables you to use the features form .
47 What is an object group?
An object group is a container for a group of objects; you define an object group when you want to package related objects, so that you copy or reference them in other modules.
48 What is an anchoring object & what is its use?
An anchoring object is a print condition object which used to explicitly or implicitly anchor other objects to itself.
49 What is a User_exit?
Calls the user exit named in the user_exit_string. Invokes a 3Gl program by name which has been properly linked into your current oracle forms executable.
50 What is a timer?
Timer is an "internal time clock" that you can programmatically create to perform an action each time the timer expires.
51 What is a Text_io Package?
It allows you to read and write information to a file in the file system.
52 What is a text list?
The text list style list item appears as a rectangular box which displays the fixed number of values. When the text list contains values that can not be displayed, a vertical scroll bar appears, allowing the operator to view and select undisplayed values.
53 What is a property clause?
A property clause is a named object that contains a list of properties and their settings. Once you create a property clause you can base other object on it. An object based on a property can inherit the setting of any property in the clause that makes sense for that object.
54 What is a physical page ? & What is a logical page ?
A physical page is a size of a page. That is output by the printer. The logical page is the size of one page of the actual report as seen in the Previewer.
55 What is a library?
A library is a collection of subprograms including user named procedures, functions and packages.
56 What is a difference between pre-select and pre-query?
Fires during the execute query and count query processing after oracle forms constructs the select statement to be issued, but before the statement is actually issued. The pre-query trigger fires just before oracle forms issues the select statement to the database after the operator as define the example records by entering the query criteria in enter query mode. Pre-query trigger fires before pre-select trigger.
57 What is a combo box?
A combo box style list item combines the features found in list and text item. Unlike the pop list or the text list style list items, the combo box style list item will both display fixed values and accept one operator entered value.
58 What does the term panel refer to with regard to pages?
A panel is the no. of physical pages needed to print one logical page.
59 What are visual attributes?
Visual attributes are the font, color, pattern proprieties that you set for form and menu objects that appear in your application interface.
