Create TYPE

I am not able to create type objects tried with different versions of oracle too.
Currently I am using Oracle 11g Enterprise edition (2.9GB).
The problem is when i create a TYPE object and when i terminate the command with a semicolon ';',oracle sql does not stop only (the query does not execute) the loop goes on and on.
I did like this and found that the SYNTAX is also perfect.
SQL> CREATE TYPE address_type AS OBJECT
2 (street varchar2(30),
3 city varchar2(30),
4 pincode number(10));
5
6
7
8...
It goes on and on it never ends. Command never executes.
Please Help!

end the command with "/" :
create type .....

Create type not working

I'm following the 8.1.6 documentation to create type, but it always returns me the error.
My references are from :
http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/appdev.817/a76976/adobjmng.htm
The script is:
CREATE TYPE location (
building_no NUMBER,
city VARCHAR2(40) );
The error is:
1/15 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following:
; is authid as compress compiled wrapped
4/0 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following:
pragma
May I know that how can I work around it?
I had tried earlier another syntex successfully:
create type typeName as object(definition....).
May I also know what's the difference between these 2 commands?
Thanks in advance
Minny

I think there's a mistake in the documentation. I may be wrong but I think it should always be CREATE TYPE x AS OBJECT (...)

Creating Types and Internal table

Hi,
I created
Types: begin of itab,
           field 1 ...
            Field 30,
        End of itab.
Data: lt_itab type table of itab.
I need to create a second type itab1 with all the itab fields and also new fields field31 and field32.
I dont want to declare all the 30 fields again for the second one.
Can any one tell me how to create this?
Thanks.
rajesh

You can INCLUDE TYPE.
Types: begin of itab,
       field1 type string,
       field2 type string,
*      More Fields in here.
       Field30 type string,
       End of itab.
Data: lt_itab type table of itab.
TYPES BEGIN OF new_itab.
       INCLUDE type itab.
TYPES: field31 type string,
       field32 type string,
END OF new_itab.

A type body will contain PL/SQL semicolons, so once SQL*Plus sees that you're entering a type it stops treating semicolons as the SQL*Plus multi-line statement terminator character. (A type header will not contain semicolons, but I expect Oracle decided it would be even more confusing if CREATE TYPE BODY behaved differently to CREATE TYPE.)
Note you can also terminate entry by entering a dot (period) on a line on its own.
I guess in older version there was nothing like that.Actually this has been around for over 10 years ;)

Create Type as Object not working in linux oracle 11g

Pleae refer to the following simple create type as object statement.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE EC_VIEWABLETYPES as object ( CASE_TYPE_ID NUMBER)
It is working in oracle 11g and windows server 2008 environment.
But it is not working in oracle 11g with linux environment.
I am executing this statement as dynamic sql as follows
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEMP_SP
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE vcType VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
SELECT OBJECT_TYPE into vcType FROM USER_OBJECTS
WHERE OBJECT_NAME='EC_VIEWABLETYPES' AND OBJECT_TYPE='TYPE';

RETURN;
END;
END;
exec TEMP_SP
please let me know what i am missing ?

And error is:ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kothc_uc_md5:lxerr], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []

I think you cannot create types if the attributes' datatypes are based on package records, constants, etc
See:
mmara@pyn> create or replace package val
is
type dummy is record (
pid number,
pname varchar2(15));
end val;
Package created.
mmara@pyn> create or replace type WS_REQUEST as object

In that case, why don't you create the same type as seen in utl_http as an object in the schema?:
TYPE req IS RECORD (

method VARCHAR2(64), -- Requested method
http_version VARCHAR2(64), -- Requested HTTP version

SQL 3 : Create type

hello,
in an example using the object-relational model
I created the following type:
create type professeur_t as object (
+     nump varchar2(5),+
+     nomp varchar2(20),+
+     nbg integer);+
+     /+
create type "professeurs_t" as table of professeur_t;
create type eleve_t as object (
+     nume integer,+
+     nome varchar2(25),+
+     nomc varchar2(5)+
+     );+
+     /+
create type "eleves_t" as table of eleve_t;
when I try to create another type with the following command
create type ecole1_t as object (
+     nomc varchar2(5),+
+     eleves eleves_t,+
+     professeurs professeurs_t );+
+     /+
I get the following error message:
Warning: Type created with compilation errors
checking with:
select type_name from user_types ;
indicates that the type has been created
but when I try to create a table on this type with this command :
create table ecole1 of "ECOLE1_T" (primary key (nomc))
+     nested table eleves_t store as elev,+
+     nested table professeurs_t store as prof;+
I get:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00902: invalid datatype
Please if you have an idea about what to do? help me ?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
If you enclose the name of a type (or a table, or a cloumn, or anything else) in double-quotes when you create it, then you generally have to enclose it in double quotes and spell it exactly the same way (case-sensitive) every time you use it.
Lose the double-quotes:
create OR REPLACE type eleves_t as table of eleve_t;
create OR REPLACE type professeurs_t as table of professeur_t;
/All identifiers in Oracle are case-sensitive. You may not realize that because all unquoted code (that is, everything not in suingle-quotes, like 'foo', or double-quotes, like "bar") is converted to upper case before it is compiled.
So when you said
create type eleve_t ...the type that was created was ELEVE_T, all uppercase, exactly as it appears in all_objects.
When you referenced it like this:
create type "eleves_t" as table of eleve_t;there was no error, because all the unquoted code got capitalized before compiling, so it's as if you had said
CREATE TYPE "eleves_t" AS TABLE OF ELEVE_T;Because it was quoted, "eleves_t" was not capitalized.

Creating type along or inside a path

Hi All,
I read the tutorial about Creating type along or inside a path. I have tried to create few types of type along,inside and outside a path and shape. I was wondering why there are variations and restriction among them. Below are my screen shots to describe my problem.
Screen 1

Sorry, I have been trying to upload the screen shots, now it is done.
Screen 1: type outside the path
Screen 2:type inside the path
Screen 3:type outside the shape
Screen 4:type inside the shape
I am confused why I cannot flip the "type inside the path" whereas flipping inside and outside is possible for "type outside the path". Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Help using a created type

Anyone,
I started by creating a typelike this:
create type NUMS_TYP as object (nums number);
That seemed to work fine. Now I'm trying to use that type in a PL/SQL procedure like this:
FOR z IN (select empno from emp)
LOOP
IF z.empno IS OF (NUMS_TYP) THEN
htp.p ('NUMBER');
ELSE
htp.p('STRING');
END IF;
END LOOP;
I keep getting - PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Kirk

hi,
there is problem when you passing null plsql can't recognize type for null the workaround for it is just using explicit converstion
consider following
i use generic object - anydata in my OO api
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "IAS_ANYDATA"
as object
val_c varchar2(32000)
,val_n number
,val_d date
,old$val_c varchar2(32000)
,old$val_n number
,old$val_d date
,type varchar2(1)
,name varchar2(30)
,ind number
-- Attributes
-- Member functions and procedures
,CONSTRUCTOR function ias_anydata(val varchar2 default null) return self as result
,CONSTRUCTOR function ias_anydata(val number) return self as result
,CONSTRUCTOR function ias_anydata(val date) return self as result
,CONSTRUCTOR function ias_anydata(name varchar2, val varchar2, old$val varchar2) return self as result
,CONSTRUCTOR function ias_anydata(name varchar2, val number, old$val number) return self as result
,CONSTRUCTOR function ias_anydata(name varchar2, val date, old$val date) return self as result
,CONSTRUCTOR function ias_anydata(name varchar2, val varchar2) return self as result
,CONSTRUCTOR function ias_anydata(name varchar2, val number) return self as result
,CONSTRUCTOR function ias_anydata(name varchar2, val date) return self as result
,member function to_string return varchar2
,member procedure check_ind
,member function isNull return boolean
,member function isTrue(Bool_ind varchar2 default 'Y' ) return boolean
) not final
what will happen if i call following
z:=null;
o = ias_anydata( 'col1', z ); -- object of string becuse of default is null for varchar
o = ias_anydata( 'col1',to_date( z ) ); -- object of date
o = ias_anydata( 'col1',to_number( z ) ); -- object of number

How to resolve create type error?

Hi all,
I am duplicating the contents of schema1 to schema2 on the same database.
So I used expdp schema1/schema1 .... exporting schema1. Then impdp schema2/schema2 remap_schema=schema1:schema2
These 2 schemas have dba privilege.
Why do I get this error:
ORA-39083: Object type TYPE failed to create with error:
ORA-02304: invalid object identifier literal
Failing sql is:
CREATE TYPE "C1DEVADM"."CMQTNQHT" OID 'AC82C504E18C6A98E044001A4B08907C' AS TABLE OF CMQTNQHF;Thanks a lot,

Hi;
I already done exporting the data :(
I guess it will be ok if I create the object types manually after impdp right?Yes.
PS:Please dont forget to change thread status to answered if it possible when u belive your thread has been answered, it pretend to lose time of other forums user while they are searching open question which is not answered,thanks for understanding

Help Creating Types

Hello,
Hopefully I can explain this clearly.
I am using data pump import to bring several source databases into different schemas in one new database. The source databases are extracts at different times from a seperate production database and I am encountering errors as follows -
ORA-39083: Object type TYPE failed to create with error:
ORA-02304: invalid object identifier literal
Failing sql is:
CREATE TYPE "F10BANINST1"."DATE_NT" OID 'DEEC3F961E7C4CB1E0340003BA29B58F' as
table of DATE;
This makes sense as the types existed under one schema in the original database and the OIDs are present as they were imported into the first schema I created. What I need to do is create these types in each of the schemas I have created in the new database. I am not sure how best to do this. Apparently I am not able to do something like the following -
SQL> copy type schema2.TYPE from schema1.TYPE;
What I would like to do is pull the DDL from the source database into a create statement of the form -
SQL> create type schema2.type as.....
and I am not sure how to do this. I need to be certain I get the type body as well. Can someone help me do this please.
Thank you.
Bill Wagman

The OID of the object/collection type must be unique across all schemas. So trying to re-create the type in multiple schemas with the same OID will not work. You will need to choose a new OID for each schema's version of the type.
However, the obvious question is: why not create a single instance of the type, and grant privileges (EXECUTE and UNDER) to use/extend it to the other schemas?

Create type problem

I want to create a simple (not composite) data type using CREATE TYPE
CREATE TYPE mytype under number (number(9));
Obviously it was wrong. Am I trying in vain? I mean CREATE TYPE can be used just to create composite types.

I am not sure if you did not confuse two things
PL/SQL - User Defined Subtype. Variables of type mytype will be maximum number(9)
[email protected]> declare
2 subtype mytype is number(9);
3 x mytype := 1;
4 begin
5 dbms_output.put_line(x);
6 end;
7 /
1
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL type.
[email protected]> create type mtype is object(x number(9))

CREATE TYPE Alternative in TimesTen

Hi
we are using Timesten 11 version and as per the documentation, it doesn't support CREATE TYPE. So we are looking for alternatives to do it. Could you please provide your expert voice on this.
Thanks a lot.

Hi.
If you are looking to use this type with PL/SQL, you could create your type inside a package and have your code refer to it through the package:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PKG1 AS
TYPE NUMARRTYP IS TABLE OF INTEGER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TYPE rec is
record ( paramname VARCHAR2 (30),
paramvalue VARCHAR2 (1024) );
END PKG1;
declare
x PKG1.rec;
y PKG1.NUMARRTYP;
begin
/* .... */ null;
end;
but you can't create types for column definitions.

Create TYPE question

Hi ,
I have problems to understand the create type command !
CREATE TYPE test_type AS OBJECT
( test_id_pk number,
test_city varchar2(20),
test_state varchar2(10),
test_zip number
Is this a kind of reference or what ?
thank for any commets...
marcel

In Oracle, a TYPE is a database object and also an OBJECT in the Object-Oriented Programming sense (although there are key differences between Oracle's implementation and say Java). A TYPE has attributes (and so can be used to hold data) and it has methods (which can manipulate that data).
You can find out more by reading the online documentation (which you will find here).

CREATE TYPE prob?

Environment: XE 10g, WinXP SP2
As described in another thread, I'm trying to get a PHP application to run against an Oracle database. In that application it tries to run a few CREATE TYPE statements. Those statements are failing with "ORA-24344: success with compilation error".
The failing statement is:
create or replace type BIT_OR_IMPL as object (
val NUMBER,
static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT BIT_OR_IMPL)
    return number,
member function ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT BIT_OR_IMPL,
    value IN number) return number,
member function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN OUT BIT_OR_IMPL,
    returnValue OUT number, flags IN number) return number,
member function ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT BIT_OR_IMPL,
    ctx2 IN BIT_OR_IMPL) return number
)I'm new to Oracle, but that statement appears to be syntactically OK... balanced parentheses, etc.
Then I took that statement and tried to run it in a SqlPlus script:
g2user/g2pwd
set echo on;
drop type BIT_OR_IMPL;
create type BIT_OR_IMPL;
--create or replace type BIT_OR_IMPL as object ( val NUMBER, static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT BIT_OR_IMPL) return number, member function ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT BIT_OR_IMPL, value IN number) return number, member function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN OUT BIT_OR_IMPL, returnValue OUT number, flags IN number) return number, member function ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT BIT_OR_IMPL, ctx2 IN BIT_OR_IMPL) return number );
commit;
quit;But for some reason SqlPlus just sits there expecting more input:

I already know the statement works fine through SqlPlus... I need to find out why it's being rejected by Oracle when issued via the PHP application. So I'm trying to come at it backwards... if I can find out what the syntax error is, perhaps I can spot it in the application.
