Cursor using variable table name

I'm new to Oracle, and am wondering if I can create a cursor that can take a variable name as the table it's selecting from. I am working on an application that is loading data to 1 of 3 tables. The table name is stored as a variable and the loads are done using dymanic sql to constuct the insert statement. At the end, I want to select and process some specific info from the table that's been loaded by cycling thru a cursor on whichever of the 3 tables was populated. I could create 3 cursors, one for each table, test the table_name variable, and then reference the specific cursor that way, but I thought there must be another way to do this. I want to be able to do something like this:
CURSOR loaded_table is select distinct(process_key) from 'v_tablename' (where v_tablename is either TABLE2, TABLE2 or TABLE3)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Tks...MCR

It's possible to use dynamic SQL for something like this. If we're only talking about three tables, though, my hunch is that you'll be much happier defining three different cursors. Dynamic SQL is significantly harder to write, debug, and maintain than static SQL, so you're better off resorting to it only when there are so many tables that static SQL is impractical.

Creating a form with variable table name(s)

Hi,
I am building a form that will allow user(s) switch to other user
(s) dynamically. I have been able able to do this by creating a
non-database table and use record group to read from the base
table of each user.(All the tables in question have the same
structure).
Record group is a read only, and I want to be able to do data
maninpulation with this form.
The questions are
(1) It possible to do data manipulation with record group and if
it is, how?
(2) Is it possible to build a form with a variable table name?
if possible, how?
Somebody pls help.
Thanks,
Olutunde.

Hi,
you can create and manipulate record groups at runtime(see Forms
Reference 'Create_Group' and 'Add_Group_Row') don't use
Create_Group_from_Query. For your purpose it's better to build a
cursor loop on your Query and add your datas after
manipulating with 'Add_Group_Row' to your Record Group.
It's possible to SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY(QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME) but
it's not possible to change the item property 'Column Name'.
Therefor I would suggest to build a non database block and
populate these block by a programm unit, which works with a
pl/sql cursor loop and the 'create record' to populate these
block.

Cannot use duplicate table name error in AMDP

Hi Experts,
I'm developing an application which has the following architecture
SAP UI5->Gateway->ABAP Managed DB procedures(AMDP)->HANA SP(Stored Procedure)
We are having a very peculiar problem where the gateway service works inconsistently for the same input data.
i.e If I execute the same service n number of times, I get the results successfully for say n-3 times but the other 3 times I get a "RFC Error :Error while executing Database procedure"
There is no change in the input data or DB table data during all the executions.
Running the stored procedure stand alone in HANA studio works all the time.
We tried executing the AMDP from SE24 and the same behavior occurred.
When trouble shooting we found that the exception occurs inside the AMDP when the call db procedure statement is executed.
Could you please advise what could be the possible reason for this any tuning parameter/unavailability of db connections?
Or could you please suggest some other troubleshooting mechanism by which we can zero in on the cause?
When I go in the debug mode I can see the exact error as
cannot use duplicate table name: [288] SAPXXX.ZCL_PLAN_MAINTENANCE=>GET_COMP_TYPE#stub#20140905055908: line 15 col 3 (at pos 492): cannot use duplicate table name exception:
where ZCL_PLAN_MAINTENANCE=>GET_COMP_TYPE is the AMDP class and method. SAPXXXis the schema.

Can we create cursor using the table created dynamically

Dear all,
Can we create the cursor using the table which is created dynamically using "Execute immediate" within the same procedure,
or is there any way to call the table created dynamically ..
please Do Help me in this
thanks alot
Edited by: khaja on Jan 18, 2009 10:57 AM

Well, I don't think this approach is bad in any possible circumstances. It depends on the requirements we don't know. Yes, usually applications should not be designed in this way. But 'usually' does not mean 'never'. One possible case is described in Oracle's example Referencing Database Objects that Do Not Exist at Compilation. It's possible to assume that tables inv_01_2003, inv_04_2003, etc from the referenced topic What Is Dynamic SQL? are generated automatically by some job using dynamic create table stmt. If the OP has similar requirements tnen this approach is not bad. It may not be the best one but it at least is not so bad as you said.
I believe that OPs know their requirements much better than me. This is why I always try to answer the exact question. If the approach is really ugly then I don't answer such questions at all.

Dima

Using variable coulmn name in sql function

Hi there,
I am not an expert with PL/SQL and I can not figure out how to use variable column names in my function.
My function is:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION RESET_TRIGGERS(aTrigger VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
TEMP_ID NUMBER;
TEMP_USER_ID NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT 'LIMS.'||'$aTrigger'||'.NEXTVAL' INTO TEMP_ID FROM DUAL;
SELECT 'LIMS.'||'$aTrigger'||'_USER.NEXTVAL' INTO TEMP_USER_ID FROM DUAL;
IF TEMP_ID > TEMP_USER_ID THEN
LOOP
SELECT LIMS.SQ_U_FINALRESULT_USER.NEXTVAL INTO TEMP_USER_ID FROM DUAL;
EXIT WHEN TEMP_USER_ID = TEMP_ID;
END LOOP;
ELSE
WHILE TEMP_ID < TEMP_USER_ID LOOP
SELECT LIMS.SQ_U_FINALRESULT.NEXTVAL INTO TEMP_ID FROM DUAL;
END LOOP;
END IF;
COMMIT;
RETURN (TEMP_ID);
END;
What I want is that I pass a seqencename with aTrigger and that two triggers will be equal if not.
eg ifaTrigger = 'SQ_U_FINALRESULT'
than I want the triggers LIMS.SQ_U_FINALRESULT and LIMS.SQ_U_FINALRESULT_USER to be set equal.
The above function will not work, but what will?????
I hope you can help me out!
Cheers

Import Data using Full Table Name

Is there a way to run the import data wizard so when pulling data from a csv it generates an insert statement not only using the table name but using the Oracle Schema name -- ie fully qualified table name?

Hi Nilanjan,
I need help ASAP.
About this dump-load task, how does it works? Because I was checking out a package called Import SQL and this one only imports data from a table, however this table has to be allocated within the database that is being used, and I right? Are these 2 related somehow?
Does this task order BPC to find data from a SQL Table (allocated in a different server, different instance for SQL) and import it to SQL Fac2 table?
Can you help me with a simple explanation what do I need to do to run this task? The page help.sap.com talks shows a section within DumpLoad Task Usage which is called Importing Into SQL Server...
* Processing the Application using DumpLoad -
Importing into SQL
You can use DumpLoad to process the application as a standalone procedure, or with data import, export, or clear.
Prerequisites
The DumpLoad task (OsoftTaskDumpLoad2008.dll) is registered with Microsoft SSIS. See Registering Custom Tasks.
Procedure
1.Open a package or create a new package in Microsoft SSIS on the Planning and Consolidation server. i already did this for the DumpLoad task ... should I do this for the Import SQL task also ?
2.Select the task and add it to the package. WHAT DOES SELECT THE TASK MEAN?
3.Open the task, and choose Data Management None .
4.Enter the application set, application, and user ID.
Im getting confused, can you please provide more details about the whole procedure. Thanx in advance

Hi,
The parser does not under variables directly in dml statements.u need to form a statement and the parse and execute the same...
so the soln is
Declare
lv_stmt varchar2(250);
Begin
lv_stmt := 'Delete from '| |ls_prev_table;
execute immediate lv_stmt;
-- Same is the case with the insert stmt--
End;
This should solve ur problem.
u could also give a direct call like
execute immediate 'Delete from '| |ls_prev_table ;
Note: This statement "execute immediate" holds good for oracle versions 8.x and above which makes the stmt very simple. For lower version u need to use the dbms_sql package to parse and execute the statement which has a series of statements for the same.

How user variable table names in select statement

Dear all,
I have three table gp1,gp2,g3. i want user variable table in sql query
for example at oracle forms have a list table showing table names gp1,gp2,gp3
at form i want user this query
select gpno from :table where gpno=120;
how i can specify table name Dynamicly in select query
Thanks

Forms_DDL is a one-way street: You can only pass DDL commands TO the database; you cannot get data back using Forms_DDL.
Exec_SQL is the Forms package that enables dynamic sql within a form. But to retrieve data, you have to make a Exec_SQL call for every column in every row. So it is not a good thing to use, either.
The ref cursor method should work. You could also retrieve the data into a record group using populate_group_with_query -- it also enables dynamic data retrieval.
But if you already know you have three distinct tables and you know their names, I would keep it simple and just write three sql select statements.

Parameterized cursor for varient Table name?

Hi all,
I am using Oracle 9i and have a cursor defined as :-
Code:
CREATE PROCEDURE Proc_Abc
AS
CURSOR
My_Cursor (UserName VARCHAR) IS
SELECT Emp_Name, Salary FROM Employee_Table
WHERE User_Name = UserName;
(Rest of the code)
This code is working perfectly, but if I try to provide the table name through the cursor variable, it gives an error
Below is the code that I am writing to pass table name through variable:-
Code:
CREATE PROCEDURE Proc_Abc
AS
CURSOR
My_Cursor (TableName VARCHAR, UserName VARCHAR) IS
SELECT Emp_Name, Salary FROM TableName
WHERE User_Name = UserName;
(Rest of the code)
All the tables that I need to pass through cursor variables have the same fields and are all pre known to me, thats why "SELECT Emp_Name, Salary " is remaining common throughout.
Please suggest how can I make a cursor with variant tables?
Thanks in advance.

The following procedure compares between two tables and then it picking the column from all_tab_column table and finally execute the SELECT statement to compare the data between this two table. But, you can proceed your program taking help from this -

Variable table name in the select statment ?

data: h_itab like hier_out occurs 0 with header line,
      table_name(30) type C.
here i declare h_itab as the variable for the table name
itab_name = input_name
input_name is imported
select * from table_name
       into table h_itab
       where OBJVERS = 'A'.
it does not allow me to use table_name in the select statement i get the error 'table_name is not defined i the abap dictionary as a table, projection view or database view'.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
BWer

Hi,
You must enclose the name of the table in braces to let the compiler know that the value will be supplied at run time.
For example -
tables mara.
data table_name(30) type c.
table_name = 'MARA'.
SELECT *
FROM (table_name)
endselect.

SQL Task Expression: SQL Command using variable tables

Hello,
I've got a question I hope someone could help me out with. I'm working on a SSIS project that basically synchronises logins of a Source and Destination server that are part of an AlwaysOn Cluster.
The idea is as followed: On the source server there are variable tables created named Logins_<SourceServerName>_To_<DestinationServerName> for example. This one is filled with all the login information from that server, then on the Destination
server the same table is created and the data is transfered. The Source and Destination server names are project variables.
Once all data is copied I use a set of code from the dba_CopyLogins script I got from SQLSoldier (http://www.sqlsoldier.com/wp/sqlserver/transferring-logins-to-a-database-mirror) to create the missing logins on the Destination server.
What I've found is that I can't use expressions to handle the code, at least I haven't found a way yet, expression evaluation will give an error on (for example) the following code:
Begin
Set @SQL = 'Create Login ' + quotename(@LoginName)
If @Type In ('U', 'G')
Begin
Set @SQL = @SQL + ' From Windows;'
End
Else
Begin
Set @PasswordHashString = '0x' +
Cast('' As XML).value('xs:hexBinary(sql:variable("@PasswordHash"))', 'nvarchar(300)');
Set @SQL = @SQL + ' With Password = ' + @PasswordHashString + ' HASHED, ';
Set @SIDString = '0x' +
Cast('' As XML).value('xs:hexBinary(sql:variable("@SID"))', 'nvarchar(100)');
Set @SQL = @SQL + 'SID = ' + @SIDString + ';';
End
I've tried various things to get this to work as an expression, however I seem to continue to get the error:
The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element. It might not be well-formed, or might be missing part of a required element such as a parenthesis.
So the next thing I tried was just using the script as Direct input with Parameter Mapping on the tables but I've got the error:
Must declare the table variable "@P1".
All the way up to @P12. Since we're talking about 12 variables that are in the script in total. But they are table variables and apparently Parameter mapping is not possible on table variables or am I wrong here? Pieces of code for example are:
Set @MaxID = (Select Max(LoginID) From ?)
Set @CurrID = (Select Min(LoginID) From ?)
I hope there's someone who could help me out or at least can give me a direction to look into.
Yes we could use the script provided, but we don't want to work with LinkedServers, besides I'd have to make local jobs on the servers instead of controlling it all from 1 centralised server.
Thank for looking at the topic and I hope you have a clue about what to do...
Regards,
Danny

The code you posted is a t-sql code. If you want to store it inside ssis variable syntax is different. As per what you say what might be best would be to warp above code inside a procedure and then call it from SSIS execute sql task after passing values
through SSIS variable
also for
Set @MaxID = (Select Max(LoginID) From ?)
etc
create variable in SSIS, set EvaluateAsExpression true and set expression as
"Select Max(LoginID) AS MaxID From " + @[User::TableName]
Where TableName is SSIS variable through which you pass the table name. Then use above statement inside execute sql task and set resultset option as single row and map resultset to SSIS variable (say @[User::MaxID]) to get return value
similarly for other statements

Variable table name in insert

In forms i want to give variable as table name.
e.g When_button_press
Insert into :txt1 values (select * from abc1)
return error on :txt1.
how can i do this.

There are examples in the forum that show how. Here are some of them:

How to use table name as variable

Can substitution strings be used for table name references?

Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to use substituion strings for table names in SQL queries. This would allow for me to edit all references to a table at one location. For instance, if a table name or dblink changed, I could edit the substitution string or application item to ensure all the queries reference the new table.
For example:
select * from &table1.
table1 would be the substitution string for the actual table name
I know this is possible if I used a pl/sql function returning a query, but I would much rather use a substition string in a SQL query.
Thanks in advance.
Brian

i think not
because how create the fields of * in this case
in the other because all is dynamic, i think that you obtain only an error

Variable table name

Hi all,
I tried to execute the statement below inside a push button on forms 6i
select count(*) into :global.temp from *:variable_table_name* where rownum=1;
but it fails to compile because it only accepts a static table name....I need such statement because i wanna check empty table that is to be selected by user
from list item (variable_table_name ) that contain table names
Any help or advice ? thanks

Hi,
You can not use statement like this in forms. You will have to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE or DBMS_SQL
One example through EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.
Create one function in database as below...
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION EXEC_STR(vStr IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
vCnt NUMBER;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE vStr INTO vCnt;
RETURN vCnt;
END;and then from your form you can use like below...
:GLOBAL.temp:=EXEC_STR('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '||:variable_table_name);-Ammad
