Can the table name in a cursor be parameterized?

I would like to do the following in pl/sql
Procedure my_proc ( varchar2 table_name) is
CURSOR my_cursor ( table_name VARCHAR2 ) IS SELECT some_column FROM table_name ;
i.e. parameterize the table name. I know it is possible to parameterize the SELECT cause by doing the above but, as written, my example will not compile. So, I'm wondering if it is even possible to create a cursor like this.
Thanks for any help/advice,
-=beeky

I wanted to add that I have no control over the database design. The reason I want to parameterize a cursor is to allow a single procedure to do exactly the same thing to six tables. These tables contain data for different geographic regions and are supplied by an outside party. My script essentially merges these tables into our relational model.
Thanks again to all who replied,

Using a Variable for Table Name with a cursor

Hello All
Is it possible to use a Parameter passed to a procedure as the table name

If you are going to have a table name or a column name as a parameter, then you have to open the cursor dynamically. The following example uses Native Dynamic SQL (NDS) to open a ref cursor dynamically. I also eliminated the group by clause, since it is intended for use with aggregate functions and you weren't using an aggregate function. Also notice that there are some other differences in terms of defining variables and fetching and so forth.

How can I get the table name of a field..

Hi,
If we know the table name we can find all the fileds from it

But, I would like to find table name of a known field's name.
Where all these fields are storing in the database.

How can I get the table name of my column?

I'm using the JDK 1.3 trying to get a table name of a column from a result set. Regardless of what driver I'm using (ODBC Bridge/Oracle) I always get a null returned. Does this method work?
If not, if I'm doing an SQL query that uses more than 1 table and each table has a return of the same column name, how do I distinguish which table the column is from. Thanks

You can use ResultSetMetaData interface and method
String getTableName(int column)
This should return you the table name.
To get ResultSetMetaData object, you can use
ResultSetMetaData getMetaData()
method of ResultSet interface.

Invalid table name when pass in the table name as variable in dynamic sql

Hi,
I need to create a stored procedure which will return a list of data to my java application like the following.
first, select the table name from the first table.
For example : SELECT T_NAME FROM MDR_SMSTABLES
second, select the data from the table which returned by first select statement
For example : SELECT * FROM T_NAME.
I use dynamic sql with cursor to select the data. But it returns "java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00903: invalid table name"
I fetch the table name to varchar2. I think this might the cause it returns me the this error. But i don't know what type should i put for the table name other then varchar2.
val2 VARCHAR2(200);
OPEN cv FOR
SELECT T_NAME FROM MDR_SMSTABLES WHERE T_DATE=d_dt_sent;
FETCH cv INTO val2;
WHILE cv%FOUND
LOOP
OPEN refcur FOR
'SELECT * FROM :t WHERE MID = :m' USING val2, msg_id;
EXIT WHEN refcur IS NOT NULL;
FETCH cv INTO val2;
END LOOP;
As my stored procedure is quite long, so i just paste some of the code here. Hope the information is enough. Can anyone please help?
Thanks

DECLARE
val2 VARCHAR2 (200);
cv sys_refcursor;
refcur sys_refcursor;
BEGIN
OPEN cv FOR
SELECT table_name
FROM user_tables
WHERE table_name IN ('EMP', 'DEPT');
FETCH cv INTO val2;
WHILE cv%FOUND
LOOP
OPEN refcur FOR 'SELECT * FROM '||val2;
EXIT WHEN refcur IS NOT NULL;
FETCH cv INTO val2;
END LOOP;

How to pass the table name dynamically in xml parsing

Hi All,
I have created one procedure for parsing xml file which is working perfectly.
FORALL i IN t_tab.first .. t_tab.last
         INSERT INTO Test_AP VALUES t_tab(i);Now I want to put the table name dynamically+. For that I have added one query and modify above code as follow:-
I have already declare dml_str varchar2(800) in declaration part.
Query is as follows:-
select table_name into tab_name from VERSION_DETAILS where SUBVERSION_NO=abc; -- here abc is variable name which contains values.
FORALL i IN t_tab.first .. t_tab.last
          dml_str := 'INSERT INTO ' || tab_name || ' values :vals';
          EXECUTE IMMEDIATE dml_str USING t_tab(i);But it's not working. How I will resolve this or through which way I achieved the intended results. Anyone can guide me on this matter.
Thanks in advance for your help...

Hi,
But it's not working.Don't you think it would help to give the error message?
Put the assignment before FORALL.
FORALL only accepts one subsequent DML statement (static or dynamic SQL) :
dml_str := 'INSERT INTO ' || tab_name || ' values :vals';
FORALL i IN t_tab.first .. t_tab.last
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE dml_str USING t_tab(i);

How to look for the Table Name

Hi Friends,
Sometimes we need to download the table for the desired information if the same is not available from a particular report. How to look for the table name? Is there a report or a particular feild, where we can find the name of the particular table?
Thanks for the assistance.
Regards

Hi Friend,
If you want to see the structures then go to SE11. Sometimes it happens that you cannot find the table names but only fields. In such case, if you want to find the Table names which is not available, then go to SE90.
Abap Dictionary > Fields > Table Fields.
Now Enter the Field name in Right Hand Side of the screen then Execute. You will see the all tables by which that Fields are used.

How to get the table name and bind columns names in an INSERT statement ?

I have an INSERT statement with input parameters (for example
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (:a, :a, :a)) and I want to know
without parsing the statement which is the name of table to
insert to and the corresponding columns.
This is needed to generate the SELECT FOR UPDATE statement to
refetch a BLOB before actually writing to it. The code does not
know in advance the schema (generic code).
Thanks in advance,
Joseph Canedo

Once you have prepared your statement, you can execute the
statement with the OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY mode before binding any
columns. Then you can use OCIParamGet to find out about each
column (column index is 1-based). You should get OCI_NO_DATA or
ORA-24334 if there are no more columns in the statement. Note
that the parameter descriptor from OCIParamGet is
allocated/freed internally by OCI; you do not need to manage it
explicitly. The parameter descriptor is passed to OCIAttrGet in
order to obtain for instance the maximum size of data in the
column OCI_ATTR_DATA_SIZE. You can also get the column name in
this way, although I do not remember the #define off the top of
my head. Getting the table name appears to be much more
difficult; I have never had to do that yet. Good luck. -Ralph

Creating a Mat View having the same name with that of the table name

You'd have to rename the table (using ALTER TABLE tablename RENAME TO othername; ) before you create the MV.
You can't have both existing with the same name in the same schema.
What you see in the GQ schema is that the "table" is the underlying table for the Materialized View.
When you do a CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MY_MV AS ...
Oracle creates two objects with the same name, one being the Materialized View MY_MV and the other being the table MY_MV which is the physical storage. {Remember that a Materialized View is a means of getting a physical representation of a View}.
In the QQ schema what you have is either
a. a real Table
or
b. an improperly dropped MV, resulting in the underlying Table still present.

Hello Ajay Kumar,
Release process for PO will be considered as change of PO and it will be updated in CDHDR and CDPOS table, so you need to check these table entires for your report.

select tbl_customerRegistration.*, tbl_customerAddress.address from tbl_customerRegistration, tbl_customerAddress where tbl_customerAddress.customer_id = tbl_customerRegistration.customer_ID
this query executes well and gets data from the database when i get ResultsetMetaData from my result set (having result of above query) i am able to get the field name as
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();//rs is result set
String columnName = rsmd.getColumnName(1);
here i get columnName = "Customer_id"
but when i try to get the tabel name from meta data as
String tableName = rsmd.getTableName(1); i get empty string in table name....
i want to get the table name of the respective field here as it is very important to my logic.....

So far as I'm aware, you can't get metadata information about the underlying tables in a query from Oracle and/or the Oracle drivers. I suspect, in fact, that the driver would have to have its own SQL parser to get this sort of information.
I'm curious though-- how do you have application logic that depends on the name of the source table but not know in the application what table is involved? Could you do something "cheesy" like
SELECT 'tbl_customerRegistration' AS tbl1_name,
tbl_customerRegistration.*
