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
Jim

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 :)

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?

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.

Passing values in a vector list as bind variables in sql query.

Hi,
I have a vector list containing values 12,13,14.
vector<string> v;
v has values 12,13 and 14.
Here the number of values in vector list are not fixed.
I want to pass these values as bind variables to sql query.
Can anyone suggest me how to do this.
Thanks in advance!!

Bind variables in SQL query of DBAdapter

Hi,
Can we add bind variables to SQL query when we define DB adapter...?

No, not in the Wizard.
I do not know if it is possible with the TopLink in combination with BPEL.
But can you use a Pl/SQL procudere/package that performs the dynamic SQL?

Got an error while creating bind variables using sql database.

iam going to use sql database for ADF-BC .
i created the bind variable and apply the bind position for the corresponding variable in the view object editor.when i click test it shows me "query is valid". when i tried to run that it gives me two errors.
1) sql error during statement preparation.(ie) select empid ,empname......from the emptable where empid like :'emp' and
2) [Microsoft][SQl server 2000 driver for jDBC] invalid parameter bindings
i need help to know the solution for this...(or) is there any other way to create bind variable ......

The 3 binding styles supported by JDev:
Oracle Named - ie. SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = :vEmp (note colon and variable name)
Oracle Positional - ie SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = :1 (note colon)
JDBC Positional - ie SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = ?
Literally this query is sent to the database to execute, then the bind variables values are applied as a separate database operation. If SQL Server doesn't suport any of these binding styles, it's not going to work. As Chris Noonan suggests, try the JDBC Positional style though as you're using a JDBC driver to connect to SQL Server and it should support that style (the others are Oracle styles), and make sure you've switched the binding style on the VO query page to "JDBC Positional" too.
You must also on the VO bind variable page define your bind variables.
Also read the 10.1.3 JDev guide on ADF Business Components and View Object bind variables.

Decode using bind variable in SQL

I have decode statement in my SQL query which is used to define the VO object. I want to select a column depending on the value entered for the bind variable :1. dont know how to implement this in OAF - any pointers will be appreciated.
decode(:1,'XO2C_CUST_SERV_REP',XO2C_CUST_SERV_REP,'XO2C_ACCOUNT_MGR',XO2C_ACCOUNT_MGR,'XO2C_CTS_ENGINEER',XO2C_CTS_ENGINEER ) "contact names"
Thanks!!

I have decode statement in my sql for the VO and the VO is executed when the user clicks the GO button(user initiated search and over-riding the default Go button).
When I click the Go button , I am calling a method called Uneditable in my AM which appends the decode variable using the whereclause append but it is failing with an exception "java.sql.SQLException: Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 1". Can someone let me know if I am doing anything indifferently which is causing the program/sql query to fail.
Binding style of the VO is "Oracle Named" - is this causing the problem?

Error using bind variables with SQL server with SQL92 mode

I am using 2 bind variable in my VO (JDBC positional) . The mode is SQL 92 for ADF BC. I do not use the bind variable directly but in a view criteria. I see following error in the logs.
The logs show the query executed and error. I tried both ways - making bind variable required and not required. I have set -Djbo.SQLBuilder=SQLServer property. My other page works which has an updatable VO.

After making all the bind variables not required, the error is no longer coming.

PL SQL using variable in SQL statement

I am trying to execute several sql statements, that have the same format but different values. Does this
mean I need a bind variable?
ie
select TO_CHAR ( (SYSDATE - 2), 'YYYY_MM_DD') from dual
select TO_CHAR ( (SYSDATE - 4), 'YYYY_MM_DD') from dual
select to_char(add_months(sysdate,-2*1) from dual
When I try to put the values into a varaiable (date, varchar2 or number) I am getting a conversion
error.
Can somebody show me an example of how to do something like this? Or at least point me to the correct
part of the documentation that provides and example. Pardon my syntax as I know it is incorrect
val :=add_months(sysdate,-2*1
select to_char(val) from dual
Thanks in advance to all who answer

Hi,

I don't see where you're trying to use any varibables at all in your examples. Is it in place of the literals, such as 2 or 'YYYY_MM_DD'? You can use either bind varibales or PL/SQL variables in those places.
ie
select TO_CHAR ( (SYSDATE - 2), 'YYYY_MM_DD') from dual
select TO_CHAR ( (SYSDATE - 4), 'YYYY_MM_DD') from dual
select to_char(add_months(sysdate,-2*1) from dualIn PL/SQL, when you have a SELECT statement, you must specify what you want to do with the results. For example, a SELECT ... INTO statement:
SELECT AVG (sal)
INTO    avg_salary
FROM    scott.emp;There's usually no point in SELECTing from dual in PL/SQL. It's not an error, but it's simpler just to use an assignment statement.
When I try to put the values into a varaiable (date, varchar2 or number) I am getting a conversion
error.Post a complete procedure or anonymous block, including variable declarations, that shows exactly what you're trying to do.

val :=add_months(sysdate,-2*1Assuming val is a DATE, that's basically correct. You have unbalanced parentheses (there's a '(', but no matching ')' ), and you need a semicolon (';') at the end of the statement. Perhaps ');' just got cut off when you were posting this.
select to_char(val) from dualAgain, SELECTing from dual is unnecessary, but if you had some way to catch the returned value, that would work.
Usually, the reason why you need to call TO_CHAR is that you want a value in a particular format, which is specified in the 2nd argument to TO_CHAR. Calling TO_CHAR with only one argument is a possible mistake, but not something that would raise an error.
Here's an example that works:
SET     SERVEROUTPUT     ON
DECLARE
     d     DATE;
     v     VARCHAR2 (30);
BEGIN
     d := ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, -2);          -- -2 = (-2*1)
     v := TO_CHAR (d, 'DD-Mon-YYYY');
     dbms_output.put_line (v || ' = v');
END;
/Output (when run on March 13, 2011):
13-Jan-2011 = v

Prompt for bind variables in SQL developer

Hi!
Just installed the latest 3.2 version of SQL Developer, and tried to do an explain plan.
Now the tool prompts me for values for the bind variable. It didn't do that in my previous version (version 3. something).
Thats anoying :-)
How do I disable that feature?
Example:
explain plan for
select * from emp
where department_id = :1;
If i right click on the statement or press F10, I get no prompt for the bind variable...
Regards
Søren

Old fashioned way, like this:
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
SELECT * FROM scott.emp
where deptno = :1;
SELECT PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY());
Executed with F5 gives me this output
plan FOR succeeded.

Bind variables in SQL causes slowness

We are having a strange problem in our PeopleSoft system that I have traced to a SELECT statement using bind variables, if we hard-code the values in the SQL it runs very fast,
but using binds (which is what the application does) causes a huge efficiency problem. I am going to re-write the code that is based on a view of three joined tables to go against
the base tables and I don't think I will have a problem. However, I would like to know why the problem exists in the first place. Here is what info I have:
Oracle version: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
This is the "good" query without binds:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM sysadm.PS_ERN_PROG_DESCR A
WHERE A.ERN_PROGRAM = 'VT'
AND A.ERNCD         = '01'
AND EFFDT           =
(SELECT MAX(B.EFFDT)
FROM sysadm.PS_ERN_PROG_DESCR B
WHERE B.ERN_PROGRAM = 'VT'
AND B.EFFDT        <= TO_DATE('2009-10-10','YYYY-MM-DD')
);And the "good" explain plan:

Bind variables in SQL Developer

I declared a bind variable called 'test_num' and assigned a value of 10 as shown below.
variable test_num number
BEGIN
:test_num := 10;
dbms_output.put_line ('The Test Value: ' || :test_num);
END;
When I execute the above program, the output is thrown as 'The Test Value: '. The value of test_num is not shown. I fear whether this issue is due to SQL Developer which i am using to execute this program.
Please let me know why the value is not getting printed
Thanks for your help!

I see the same issue you are seeing when using the bind variable. The bind variable works fine in SQL*Plus but not from SQL Developer.
From SQLPlus*
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> variable test_num number
SQL> BEGIN
2 :test_num := 10;
3 dbms_output.put_line ('The Test Value: ' || :test_num);
4 END;
5 /
The Test Value: 10
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
From SQLDeveloper*
set serveroutput on
variable test_num number
BEGIN
:test_num := 10;
dbms_output.put_line ('The Test Value: ' || :test_num);
END;
anonymous block completed
The Test Value:

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
