Transaction control with execute immediate

Hi, What is the correct way to commit/ rollback transactions when executing a dynamic update statement with execute immediate?

Hi Thanks fo the reply, they don't appear to be. here's my procedure. Is there anything the is obviously wrong?

  • Pipelined Function with execute immediate

    Hello Experts,
    I have created a Pipe lined function with execute immediate, due to below requirement;

    1) Columns in where clause is passed dynamically.No, that's something you've introduced, and is due to poor database design. You appear to have columns on your table called FPD1, FPD2 ... FPD31. The columns do not need to be 'passed dynamically'
    2) I want to know the data stored into above dynamic columns.And you can know the data without it being dynamic.
    3) I want to use it in report, so I don't want to insert it into a table.That's fine, though there's no reason to use a pipelined function.
    You also have an pointless exception handler, which masks any real errors.
    I'm not quite sure what the point of your "connect by" is in your query as we don't have your tables or data or know for sure what the expected output is.
    However, in terms of handling the 'dynamic' part that you've introduced, then you would be looking at doing something along the following lines, using a static query that requires no poor dynamic code, and no pipelined function...

  • Disadvantage with 'Execute Immediate'

    What is the disadvantage with 'EXECUTE IMMEDIATE'.

    I think you guys are missing the point here.
    None of the issues listed are 'EXECUTE IMMEDIATE' disadvantages.
    'EXECUTE IMMEDIATE' is a tool. Like DMS_SQL. Like ref cursors. Like explicit cursor. Like implicit cursors.
    A tool, any tool, needs to be used correctly. If you use a hammer and hit a nail so hard that it bents, causing the hammer to slip doing some serious damage to your thumb... whose fault it is?
    Is it The Hammer that is at fault here? Or is the user of that tool?
    There are no disadvantages to using 'EXECUTE IMMEDIATE'. It is a tool. But like all tools it needs to be used correctly and safely. Things like excessive hard parsing because of a severe lack of bind variables, or opening a hole for SQL injection, etc.. all these are symptoms of - and let's be blunt here - an ignorant developer. It has nothing to do with the tool 'EXECUTE IMMEDIATE'.
    And those same type of errors will be made by Mr Ignorant Developer using other tools in Oracle.
    Shoddy workmanship is not because of poor tools. Shoddy code is not because of using a specific feature (like execute immediate).
    The proper question to ask is thus not "what are the disadvantages of execute immediate", but rather "where should I typically use execute immediate and how?".
    Not every developer will know how to use every single tool in the toolbox (I sure don't know all the tools in the Oracle toolbox). So there is nothing wrong with asking.
    But asking what is "wrong" with a tool (aka "what are the disadvantages") is in my view seriously missing the point that a tool is there to solve very specific types of problems...
    That is what a developer should be after - How to use the tool correctly.

  • Execute a DML query its length exceeds 4000 characters with execute immediate statement.

    I want to execute a DML query with execute immediate statement. That DML query length exceeds 4000 characters. This query has Xquery related conditions, i can not split the query. when i tried execute it is giving "string literal too long".  I tried with DBMS_SQL.Parse() and DBMS_SQL.Execute also, but it is giving same error. I have to execute this DML query inside a Procedure. Please help me to resolve this. We are using oracle 10g version
    Thanks & Regards,

    Actually Query is a dynamic query. Query length will exceeds if the no of domains\domain values \products exceeds. Any way Below one is current dynamic query, which is generated within procedure

  • Unable to INSERT PL/SQL  record with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

    Hi All,
    I am selecting data from a source table and after some modification inserting into a target table. Source and target table name are available at run time. You can say only source table structure is fixed.
    I have crated a pl/sql table of type source record and inserting record by record in target table using execute immediate. But I am not able to write
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE string USING pl_sql_table(index); and getting error as
    PLS-00457: expressions have to be of SQL types
    Please see the part of code below. Is it possible to use FORALL with dynamic sql like
    FORALL pl_sql_table.FIRST .. pl_sql_table.COUNT
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE .... pl_sql_table(j); -- Like this.
    Please suggest why I am not able to write record here. I also want to replace 'INSERT in a loop' with a single INSERT statement out of the loop, to upload whole pl_sql table into target table in one go.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    You cannot bind PL/SQL record types to dynamic SQL.
    Possibly you could work around this by declaring the INDEX-BY table of records at package specification level, e.g.

  • Need help with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

    I have created a CHAR string in my form that contains a UPDATE statement. This statement is passed into my procedure and in the procedure, the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is supposed to run the UPDATE statement. THIS IS NOT THE CASE for some reason. NEWVALUE is record is also passed into the procedure.
    this is the UPDATE_STATEMENT statement prepared by my forms application:
    'UPDATE xtable SET ACTION_CODE_DESC =''a b c'',INACTIVE =''N'' WHERE ACTION_CODE = newValue.ACTION_CODE'
    The CHAR values are surrounded by a pair of single quotes. The UPDATE statement starts and ends with single quotes.
    In my procedure I have this statement:
    PROCEDURE JKUPD_ACTION_CODE
    ( newValue in etmst_action_code%rowtype
    ,UPDATE_STATEMENT in CHAR
    ,perr_count out number
    AS
    BEGIN
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE UPDATE_STATEMENT ;
    IF SQL%NOTFOUND
    THEN .......
    I keep getting ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement and dont understand why this is happening.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks :)

    I haven't seen a version indication for this thread, but there should be 2 (different!) functions that come with Oracle that might do what you want.
    If all you want to do is dynamically execute text representing a SQL command check the on-line documentation (if there is any) for dbms_sql.execute and/or dbms_utility.exec_ddl. Make sure the string passed in are syntactically correct :)

  • Returning (bulk collect) clause with execute immediate

    db version 11.1.0.7
    trying to do a returning bulk collect but it is not working:
    -- my test table
    create table t as
    with f as (select rownum rn from dual connect by rownum <= 10)
    select
    rn,
    lpad('x',10,'x') pad
    from f;
    -- works as expected
    declare
    type aat is table of t%rowtype;
    aay aat;
    begin
    delete from t returning rn,pad bulk collect into aay;
    rollback;
    end;
    -- but the table I really want to do has many columns so I want to dynamically build list of columns for the
    -- returning clause. This way if the table changes the stored proc will not have to be modified
    -- fails PLS-00429: unsupported feature with RETURNING clause
    declare
    type aat is table of t%rowtype;
    aay aat;
    s varchar2(4000);
    begin
    s := 'delete from t returning rn,pad into :1';
    execute immediate s returning bulk collect into aay;
    rollback;
    end;
    -- tried a few other things:
    create or replace type t_obj as object (rn number,pad varchar2(10));
    -- PLS-00497: cannot mix between single row and multi-row (BULK) in INTO list
    declare
    nt t_obj;
    s varchar2(4000);
    begin
    s := 'delete from t returning t_obj(rn,pad) into :1';
    execute immediate s returning bulk collect into nt;
    rollback;
    end;
    -- works, but would require store proc changes if the table changes
    declare
    type t is table of number;
    type v is table of varchar2(10);
    vt v;
    nt t;
    s varchar2(4000);
    begin
    s := 'update t set rn = 10 returning rn,pad into :1,:2';
    execute immediate s returning bulk collect into nt,vt;
    rollback;
    end;
    /basically I want to dynamically build the list of columns with all_tab_cols and put the list into the returning clause
    but seems like I will have to hard code the column lists. This means whenever the table changes I will have to
    modify the store proc .. Any way around this?

    And with object type you were almost there. You forgot to create table of objects type:

  • Difference between regular update and update with execute immediate

    Hi everyone, I have seen some code where developers have executed insert and update statement using execute immediate.
    for example :
    execute immediate ('Update employees set employee_salary = :x');
    I can update record using the following statement where x is a number (salary)
    update employee
    set employee_salary = x;
    It works fine as well
    Whats the difference? and what way is recommended
    Thanks

  • Single quotes problem with execute immediate

    Thanks for considering to solve the issue.
    [i]Situation:
    I am trying to create a procedure to perform a set of operations. As part of that, I am trying to create a table using execute immediate statement. This create table statement has a select sub query where p_LOB3 is the variable for the procedure of datatype varchar2.
    Problem :
    I need to pass the variable p_LOB3 as single quoted as it is of type Varchar2. Also I need to enclose the entire create table query within single quotes. How do I specify this as it is throwing an error when the PL/SQL engine is parsing the single quotes in the query used twice for different purposes as mention earlier.
    Query:
    execute immediate'create table test5 as select min(contract_number)as contract_number,contact_id,max(line_of_business) as line_of_business from mytable group by contact_id having min(contract_number) = max(contract_number) and max(Line_of_business) = 'p_LOB3' ';

    Thank you Todd,
    Is just worked fine.
    New issue is: I am not able to put 2 such statements in a single procedure and execute. Before I give parameters to the procedure, PL/SQL engine is actually creating a view of the mytable and naming is as test5, as a result I am not able to create a table as there is a view with the same name.
    Right now, the workaround I am using is to create three different procedures to create three such tables. I know this is not a good idea....can you please tell me if there is a better way.
    Procedure
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP_CREATE_0_0(p_LOB1 IN varchar2, p_LOB2 IN varchar2)
    IS
    BEGIN
    execute immediate 'create table test5 as select min(contract_number) as
    contract_number,contact_id,max(line_of_business) as line_of_business from
    mytable group by contact_id having min(contract_number) = max(contract_number)
    and max(Line_of_business) = ' ' ' || p_LOB1 || ' ' ' ';
    execute immediate 'create table test5 as select min(contract_number) as
    contract_number,contact_id,max(line_of_business) as line_of_business from
    mytable group by contact_id having min(contract_number) = max(contract_number)
    and max(Line_of_business) = ' ' ' || p_LOB1 || ' ' ' ';
    END SP_CREATE_0_0;

  • Can't create a sequence within a pl/sql block with execute immediate.

    Hi All. I created a user and granted it the 'create sequence' privilege though a role. In a pl/sql block I try to create a sequence using 'execute immediate' but get a 1031-insufficient privileges error. If I grant create sequence directly to the user, the pl/sql block completes successfully. Can anyone explain this behavior? We're running 11.2 Enterprise Editon.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    In a definer's rights stored procedure (the default), you only have access to privileges that have been granted directly, not via a role.
    There are two basic reasons for that. First, roles can be enabled or disabled, default and non-default, password-protected, etc. so the set of roles a particular user actually has is session-specific. Oracle needs to know at compile time what privileges the owner of the procedure has. The only way to do that (without deferring the privilege check) is to ignore privileges granted through roles.
    Second, since 99% of privilege management DBAs do involves granting and revoking roles, it's helpful that changing role privileges will never cause objects to be marked invalid and recompiled which can have side-effects on applications. DBAs only need to worry about causing problems on those rare cases where they are granting or revoking direct privileges to users.
    You can create an invoker's rights stored procedure by adding the clause (AUTHID CURRENT_USER). That defer's the security check to run-time but allows the procedure to see privileges granted through roles in the current session. But that means that the caller of the procedure would need to have the CREATE SEQUENCE privilege through the role, not the owner of the procedure.
    And just to make the point, dynamic object creation in PL/SQL is almost always a red flag that there is something problematic in your design. If you are creating sequences dynamically, that means that you'd have to refer to them dynamically throughout your code which means that your inserts would need to use dynamic SQL. That's not a particularly easy or safe way to develop code.

  • Problem in using CREATE TABLE with Execute Immediate

    I'm trying to create a table using Native Dynamic SQL. the code of the pl/sql block is
    BEGIN
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create table demo (ddate date)';
    END;
    The problem is that the above block is executed successfully as an anonymous PL/SQL block. The same block when written in a procedure it gives an error
    "ORA-01031 Insufficient privelages"
    at the time of execution. The procedure is complied successfully.
    null

    Your user needs direct system privs to create tables. You are receiving your privs properly by the role RESOURCE. Connect as system and grant CREATE TABLE directly to your user - that should do it.
