Bind Variable In Case Statement Produces Error ORA-01036

When running the following command using ODP.Net 10.1.0.301 I recieve error 1036. Statement runs fine within SQL+ and Toad.
Dim SQL As String = "SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT part_nbr FROM item_master WHERE part_nbr=:part_number) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS RECORD_EXISTS FROM Dual"
Dim OraConnection As New OracleConnection(connectstring)
Dim OraCommand As New OracleCommand(SQL, OraConnection)
OraCommand.Parameters.Add("part_number", OracleDbType.Varchar2).Value = PartNumber
Dim Obj as Object=OraCommand.ExecuteScalar

Hi Michael,
I was able to get your code to work on my system by changing the SQL statement as follows:
SELECT (CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT part_nbr FROM item_master WHERE part_nbr=:part_number) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS RECORD_EXISTS FROM Dual
I simply enclosed the case statement in opening and closing parenthesis...
Hope that helps,
- Mark

Creating view containing case statements received error ORA-22992

We have a create view referencing table through dblink. The select statement in the create view has case statements, when running the Select statement alone, results are return. However, when executing the create view, it returns:
SQL Error: ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables
22992. 00000 - "cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables"
*Cause: A remote LOB column cannot be referenced.
*Action: Remove references to LOBs in remote tables.
One of the source table has LOB column but not in the select statement. The strange thing is when removing the case statement from the select, create view works fine. Can anybody tell me what caused the error and how to fix it?
Create View Snippet:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW "ABC"."XYZ" (....
AS SELECT
CASE
WHEN A.OUTAGE =1
THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N'
END AS OUTAGE,

AND A.SITE =B.SITE
WHERE

What is your 4 digit Oracle version?
Try rewriting the query to not use ANSI SQL92 joins. I found a link where this solved a problem similar to yours.
DBLink problem ORA-22992

But, look at this curious thing: I re-write the query as follows:
SELECT A.ID, A.ID_REF, A.EVENDATE, B.DESCRIPTION
FROM A@ORCL A, B@ORCL B
WHERE A.ID_REF = B.ID_REF;
and it works fine... It seems like Oracle don't like the ANSI SQL92...

Fixing ORA-22992 “cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables” error
You have migrated your Oracle 9i database to 10g and a distributed statement which worked fine in 9i now is getting error ORA-22992 “cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables”. Even though the related remote table(s) does not contain any LOB column datatype.
FIX:
There is a bug on 9i,10g, and 11g that is related to this error. It is being fixed in 11.2. It can also be backported for previous 9i, 10g and 11g releases under the latest patchsets.
You may also do a workaround as follow:
Modify the affected SQL by adding the TO_CHAR function. For example:
-- Original SQL:
SELECT NVL2('a', 'b','c' ) FROM dual@remote_db;
-- Modified SQL:
SELECT TO_CHAR(NVL2('a','b','c')) FROM dual@remote_db;

Bind Variable in SELECT statement and get the value in PL/SQL block

Hi All,
I would like pass bind variable in SELECT statement and get the value of the column in Dynamic SQL
Please seee below
I want to get the below value
Expected result:
select distinct empno ,pr.dept   from emp pr, dept ps where   ps.dept like '%IT' and pr.empno =100
100, HR
select distinct ename ,pr.dept   from emp pr, dept ps where   ps.dept like '%IT' and pr.empno =100
TEST, HR
select distinct loc ,pr.dept   from emp pr, dept ps where   ps.dept like '%IT' and pr.empno =100

Thanks Billy, Would you be able to suggest any other faster method to load the data into table. Thanks,
As Mark responded - it all depends on the actual data to load, structure and source/origin. On my busiest database, I am loading on average 30,000 rows every second from data in external files.
However, the data structures are just that - structured. Logical.
Having a data structure with 100's of fields (columns in a SQL table), raise all kinds of questions about how sane that structure is, and what impact it will have on a physical data model implementation.
There is a gross misunderstanding by many when it comes to performance and scalability. The prime factor that determines performance is not how well you code, what tools/language you use, the h/w your c ode runs on, or anything like that. The prime factor that determines perform is the design of the data model - as it determines the complexity/ease to use the data model, and the amount of I/O (the slowest of all db operations) needed to effectively use the data model.

Bind Variables in SQL Statement

can someone tell me if there is a way to find out what the bind variables values are in an sql statement extracted from any of the v$sql or v$sqlarea type tables ?
sql example:
update DTree set OriginOwnerID=:A
where OriginOwnerID=:B and OriginDataID=:C
Thanks
Jim

Hi damorgan
i see two ot of the three:
SQL> desc gv$sql_bind_capture
ERROR:
ORA-04043: object gv$sql_bind_capture does not exist
i just trying to see what bind variable values would be associated with the sql when i extract the sql from v$sql and if that is even possible
Thanks

ADF jdev10: SQL TRUNC with bind variable in sql statement in VO

Hi,
In VO in where clause:
TRUNC(ServiceRequest.REQUEST_DATE) > :MyDate works fine!
But TRUNC(ServiceRequest.REQUEST_DATE) > TRUNC(:MyDate) doesn't work!
"SQL Query Error Message: ORA-00932: inconsistient datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER"
How to use TRUNC function for a bind variable?

Basementjack,
Any of these solutions that you are doing have possible performance implications in the database side, as you are applying a function to a database column; this is generally going to preclude the use of an index.
Assuming that you are trying to find service requests that were before the date that is being passed in in the bind variable, and assuming that both the bind variable and service request date can have time components, you could try:
ServiceRequest.REQUEST_DATE <= TO_DATE(trunc(:MyDate) - 1/86400)Does this do what you want?

SQL Expression Field - Combine Declared Variable With Case Statement

Hello All, I have been using Crystal & Business Objects for a few months now and have figured out quite a bit on my own. This is the first real time I have struggled with something and while I could do this as a Formula Field I would like to know how to do this as a SQL Expression. Basically I want to create a SQL Expression that uses a CASE statement but I wanted to make the code a little more efficient and employ a variable to hold a string and then use the variable in the CASE statement. The expression editor accepts the CASE statement OK but I don't know how to declare the variable. Please assist with the syntax?
This is what I have:
CASE
   WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
   WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
   ELSE u2018Noneu2019
END
This is what I want:
DECLARE strVar AS VARCHAR(25)
strVar = u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D
CASE
   WHEN strVar = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
   WHEN strVar = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
   ELSE u2018Noneu2019
END

Hi Todd,
Please use the following for loop; your problem will be solved.
Local StringVar str := "";
Local NumberVar strLen := Length ({Database.Field});
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 To strLen Do
       if {Database.Field} <i> = "H" then str := "Hedge"
        else if {Database.Field} <i> = "P" then str := "PVI"
        else str := "None"; exit for
str
Let me know once done!
Thank you,
Ashok

Using bind variables with sql statements

We connect from a VB 6.0 program via OO4O to an Oracle 8.1.7 database, using bind variables in connection with select statements. Running ok, but performance again by using bind vars not as good as expected!
When looking into the table v$sqlarea, we were able to detect the reason. We expected that our program submits the sql statement with bind vars, Oracle parses this once, and with each select statement again, we do not have a reparse. But: It seems that with each new session Oracle reparses the sql statement, that is, Oracle is not able to memorize or cache bind vars and statements. Even more worrying, this kind of behaviour was visible with each new dynaset, but the same database/session.
Is there anybody our there with an idea of what is happening here?
Code snippet:
Dim OraSession As OracleInProcServer.OraSessionClass
Dim OraDatabase As OracleInProcServer.OraDatabase
Set OraSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
Set OraDatabase = OraSession.OpenDatabase(my database", "my connect", 0&)
OraDatabase.Parameters.Add "my_bind", 0, ORAPARM_INPUT
OraDatabase.Parameters("my_bind").DynasetOption = ORADYN_NOCACHE
OraDatabase.Parameters("my_bind").serverType = ORATYPE_NUMBER ' Bind Var Type
Dim RS As OracleInProcServer.OraDynaset
strSQLstatement= "Select * from my_table where igz= [my_bind] "
Set RS = OraDatabase.CreateDynaset(strSQLstatement, &H4)
OraDatabase.Parameters("my_bind").Value = myValue
RS.Refresh
Cheers and thanks a lot :)

Query Errors: ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number

Hi All,
When I run a query against two tables within our data warehouse I am getting an IO Exception. Due to company restrictions I can't quickly increase my IO Limit So what I have done is written a query that cycles through all of the large tables partitions and extracts the data.
The problem I get is that when I run this query in Toad. It thinks my :MI, :SS are variables and wont run this. Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue?

In your case it is quite easy...

ORA-06537 OUT bind variable bound to an IN position

Sir,
we have migrated our database from oracle 9i to 10g (Release 10.1.0.2.0)..
but while executing a procedure we are getting the following error
ORA-06537:OUT bind variable bound to an IN position
this same procedure is not throwing any error wen we connect the 9i database
we are giving two parameters for this procedure
in that second one is an IN OUT Parameter
another procedure which use the same parameters working properly in 10g and 9i.
we are using PowerBuilder 10 as front end
plz help me to get ride of this prob...

You get that error even in 9i if the parameters to the procedure calls are not bound correctly. Check the powerbuilder application to make sure it is binding the parameter types correctly.

Bind Variables...Urgent

Thanks!
I build a SQL statement, PARSE and Execute...
Begin :l_result := Test(pa01=>':pa01',pa02=>':pa02'); End;
I am binding ':pa01', ':pa02'
When I try to Bind variables, it throws error "ORA-01036 illegal variable name/number".
Do I need to install any patch - current version Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.17.1 (Production)

Placeholders (:name) are bound by position in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQL statement. Hence Oracle does not consider multiple :p_comp_id in your statement to be the same thing. You would need to repeatedly bind them for each occurrence, or use an approach (DBMS_SQL.BIND_VARIABLE or EXECUTE IMMEDIATE PL/SQL block) which binds by name or position / name.
In the case of the above example you would have a USING clause similar to the below (Note that I am unable to test this).
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_statement
   USING p_comp_id, p_comp_id, p_site_id,
      p_site_id, p_task_type, p_comp_id,
      p_po_no, p_ebiz_sku_no, p_sku_status,
      p_lp, p_batch_no, p_comp_id;

Case statement in 9i/8i

I want to be able to run a select conditionally. I have gotten this far.
SQL> select
2 (case
3 when (select count(*) from all_objects
4 where owner = 'SYS' and object_name = 'DBA_REGISTRY') >= 1
5 then
6 ( select rpad(substr(comp_name,1,50),50,' ')||' '||rpad(status,15,' ')||' '||substr(version,1,10) from dba_registry)
7 else
8 ( select 'dba_registry does not exist.' from dual)
9 end)
10 from dual;
( select rpad(substr(comp_name,1,50),50,' ')||' '||rpad(status,15,' ')||' '||substr(version,1,10) from dba_registry)
ERROR at line 6:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
The 'dba_registry' does not exist in 8i but does in 9i.
When it is run in 9i the error becomes:
ORA-1427 Singe-row subquery returns more than one row.
Basically I want to check for existance of an object and perform some action (not to difficult in PL/SQL using execute immediate - unless the action is to select and return multiple rows) using code that will execute on both 8i & 9i databases.
Any pointers please?

If the select from dba_registry can be put inside a 'execute immediate' , 8i will ignore it during the compile and it runs ok, BUT
I cannot fathom how to get a 'execute immediate' to return the data into p_cursor in 9i.
Maybe something like:
execute immediate('open p_cursor for select rpad(substr(comp_name,1,50),50,'' '')||'' ''||rpad(status,15,'' '')||'' ''||substr(version,1,10) from dba_registry');
Please help.

PL SQL using bind variables

I am very much new to PL/SQL to pardon my neivte.
I would like to have some PL/SQL code that uses
bind variables for insert statements and than issue
commit's after a specific number of inserts.
For example.
desc xxx.taba
a number
b varchar2(20)
I want to do someting like this:
declare
l_start number default dbms_utility.get_time;
create or replace procedure insert_xxx(commit in number)
begin
for i in 1 .. 1000
loop
:a:=i;
:b:=dbms_random.string('P', 20);
intert into xxx :a :b;
if i/mod=(number passed into to proc)
commit
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line
(round((dbms_utility.get_time-l_start)/100, 2) ||
' Seconds...' );
end;
end;
Can somebody help me out with the correct syntax
as I know it's incorrect.

A few remarks
- procedures don't have hidden variables defined in the outside world, as procedures are black boxes, which communicate only with the outside world
using the actual parameter list
- procedures don't commit. The caller should always commit!!!
- procedures don't commit every <n> records. A commit finalizes a logical unit of work, not a technical one.
If I would have been your supervisor and you would have presented this code, I would have fired you on the spot.
Committing inside a loop also increases the likelihood of ora-1555 errors.
So: remove the current parameter
a and b should be formal parameters of the procedure
Inside the procedure it should read
insert into xxx values (a, b)
