DDL Statements in a Stored Procedure

Is there some technique which can be used to execute DDL statements in a stored procedure? I want to drop and recreate a table and a number of indexes. Is there a way for me to do this within a stored procedure?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!!!

BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE bonus (id NUMBER, amt NUMBER)';
END;http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96624/13_elems18.htm#33889

DDL statement/s in stored procedures (FUNCTION)

Hello all,
I was trying to create a small function that tests keywords on the basis of successful/failed table creation. If a table can be created with a keyword as identifier, it is a non-reserved keyword, if table creation fails, it is a reserved keyword:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION createTableForKeyword (keyword VARCHAR) RETURN BOOLEAN IS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE keyword (x NUMBER);
-- if no exception occurred, table creation succeeded
DROP TABLE keyword; drop it
RETURN FALSE; -- FALSE means non-reserved
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
-- if exception occurred, table creation failed
RETURN TRUE; -- TRUE means reserved
END createTableForKeyword;
This would have been my first PL/SQL program, but I get the following error:
PLS-00103: Found symbol "CREATE" when expecting one of:
begin case declare exit ................
.............. merge pipe
I had to translate the error message from German, but it should suffice. Obviously DDL statements in functions are not allowed. How do I solve my problem then, given a table that has one column containing the keyword?:
CREATE TABLE Keywords (keyword VARCHAR(30));
I was looking too call this function from a loop, but how would I do this without a function? How do I capture table creation fails without exceptions in functions?
TIA
Karsten

To run DDL inside stored procedure you must use Dynamic SQL. Use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
To see if a word is a reserved word just query V$RESERVED_WORDS

JDBC/select/async statement to JDBC/stored procedure/sync call

Hi
We have JDBC/select/async statement to JDBC/stored procedure/sync call i.e sender and receiver are JDBC.
PI has to pick all the the records of single internal order number at a time from sender system and upload to receiver JDBc,
gets the response and routes to sender/insert statement.
This should run only once per day.
We will have multiple Internal orders daily, each order consisting of 10 to 20 records but only one IO related records has
to upload to Receiver/JDBC
What are the options available ?
We have thought of following options
1. SQL query is already to pick, but we have to pick records at one time daily. example: morning,evening or midnight.
At that time it can pick multiple times but it should not pick through out day
2. Is there any option in BPM so that we can group IO's at a time and upload ? If so what are the steps need to use
Any additonal receive step need to be used to pick the records from the table.
Thanks

hi
as i can understando you, you will receive mani IO and you must execute one IO in the receiver SP? if so, you can solve this usssing a ccBPM where you will have to create a mapping(0.N) where the source and the target structure will be the same, the diferrence will be in the occurrance of the target structure which will have to be 0.N (Tab signature in Message Mapping). then back to the ccBPM define a block with the property ForEach. this will loop any times accord with the number of IO that you receive from the sender. as a result you will execute one SP for each IO.
so, you ccBPM will be
RS>TS>BLOCK(Multiline container and single container of source structure)>TS->SS
RS:Receive Step
TS:Trans. Step
SS:Send Step
Also the container will be:
source--> type Abs
source_multiline --> type Abs
target -->type Abs
Thanks

Writing mulitple sql statements in 1 stored procedure

Hi all, can i know how to create mulitple sql statements in 1 stored procedure??
Eg the first sql statement will generate few results and my second sql statement will based on the first statement result to execute its second results and my third sql statements will on the second results to generate the final results which will be passed back to jsp pages as a resultset??
For the time being, i only know how to create a single sql statement in one stored procedure..i had surf through the oracle website but cant find any solution. Can anyone help me?? Samples or links to any website will do.. Thanks alot...

Hi Irene,
If I understand your question correctly, then I have already written
a similar (PL/SQL) stored procedure without any problems.
However, I do think your question is more suited to the following
forum:
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?id=478021
I also think it will help others to answer your question if you
include the following information:
1. Version of Oracle you are using.
2. The error message you are getting.
3. The part of your code that is causing the problem.
Also, have you looked at the following web sites?

Good Luck,

Truncate statement in a stored procedure

How can I execute a DDL statement, TRUNCATE TABLE table_name, from a stored procedure. In fact, I have tried the following:
execute immediate ' truncate table table_name ';
but it doesn't work. Do you have any ideas.
The Oracle version is 7.3.
Thanks in advance.

The syntax for using dbms_sql is
DECLARE
v_cur INTEGER;
v_ret INTEGER;
BEGIN
v_cur := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(v_cur, 'TRUNCATE TABLE your_tab', dbms_sql.v7);
v_ret := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(v_cur);
DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(v_cur);
END;
It's usually worth puting this in a stored procedure and passing the DDL statement in as a parameter, saves you having to type all this out everytime.
If you don't have the dbms_sql package installed, the scripts are usually found under rdbms/admin

Rollback of JDBC Statement on error - Stored Procedure

Hi All,
We are using the JBDC receiver adapter for inserting the record and for that we are using the Strored Procedure and we have N number of the records for insertion in a single mapping so, we have given the occurence of the Statement 1 : unbounded as, multiple statement will be executed so, my query is if one of statement fails because of some error(Mapping error or data error) what will happen to the statement which are already executed, do they rollback? or it is not possible in case of stored procedure?
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi,
This is one of the solution but i guess there is one more issue, if we have 10 statements and third statement shows error and Stored Exception exception branch is able to catch then it will rollback the previous statement but can we able to restrict another 7 pending statement for execution or not?
Regards,
Gaurav

Callable statement with oracle stored procedure error

Create "dynamic" statements in a stored procedure

hello
in my stored procedure I need to write a statement like this:
FUNCTION myfunct (mytable IN VARCHAR2)
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO myvar
FROM ' || mytable ||
'WHERE mycol = ' || currval;
In short I need to create a sort of "dynamic" statement in which the tablename (nad other...) is a variable....
but I do not guess it's ok...
How can I do?

Hi,
With dyanmic SQL, the INTO clause is part of the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement, not the query.
Try something like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION     myfunct
(       mytable       IN     VARCHAR2
RETURN     PLS_INTEGER
IS
     return_num     PLS_INTEGER;
     sql_txt          VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
     sql_txt := 'SELECT COUNT (*)'
          || ' FROM ' || mytable;
     dbms_output.put_line (sql_txt || ' = sql_txt in myfunct');
--     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_txt INTO return_num;
     RETURN     return_num;
END     myfunct
/It's a good idea to develop dynamic SQL as shown above; putting the dynamic statement into a variable that can easily be displayed for debugging.
When it looks right, then un-comment the EXECUTE IMMEDAITE statement.
Before moving the code into Production, comment out (or remove) the put_line statement.

Extracting the DDL(Code) of only stored procedures

DB Version:11g
I have a list of Stored procedures (about 250) whose code ie. CREATE OR REPLACE STORED PROCEDURE statements i want to extract to a file.
Is there an option in imp or impdp where i can extract only the code of these stored procedures?
Apart from imp/impdp , is there any other way to do this?

Is there an option in imp or impdp where i can extract only the code of these stored procedures?impdp, Yes. Write the contents to a file using, SQLFILE option.
DUMPFILE = exp.dmp
LOGFILE = exp.log
SCHEMAS=TEST
INCLUDE= PROCEDURE:"IN ('SP')"
SQLFILE=sp..sql
Or use dbms_metadata.get_ddl
set long 99999
set pagesize 0
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL(object_type, object_name, owner) FROM DBA_OBJECTS WHERE OBJECT_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE' and OWNER='OWNER';HTH

Got error when use case statement in oracle stored procedure

Hi,
I have a query like:
select merchant_id,
case
when product_type='K' then 'Production'
when product_carrier='UC' THEN 'Shipping'
end the_type
from product_tbl
where merchant_id=10114
It works fine. But as soon as I put it into a stored procedure, I got error like:
Encountered the symbol "CASE" when expecting one of the following:
( - + mod null <an identifier>
Please help!

Oracle 8i doesn't support CASE into PL/SQL, so as Kamal said, create a view with the CASE, and use this view into your PL/SQL.

User can Execute SQL Statement but not Stored Procedure

I have a function in Access that calls a stored procedure to update a table. When I run it, it works fine but when the users try to run it, they get an error.
If I change it run the actual SQL syntax that is in the stored procedure then the users can run it and update the table without any problems, which makes no sense to me. It's doing the same exact thing as the stored procedure. I'd much rather have them be
able to run the procedures then writing the SQL in VBA modules because that's going to end up being a lot of code.
Any idea on why it's like this and how to correct it? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello,
When you give a user permission to run a stored procedure, everything on that procedure but Dynamic SQL will be executed
without evaluating user permissions on the objects the stored procedure deals with.
On the link I provided above, you will see how to provide permissions to stored procedures. Try creating database roles, add user to database roles, then assign permissions to database roles.
Hope this helps.

Fails to execute all statements in a stored procedure

We are executing a stored proc on SQL Server 7.0. We are using the jdbc odbc bridge. The procedure has database inserts on seven tables.
It executes fine when it's executed from the SQL server query analyzer. All the inserts go through without any problem.
We have a problem when the proc is executed from the front-end. All the inserts except the last two go through without any problem. The sixth insert is partially completed (two out of 300 rows are inserted) and the seventh one is not at all executed.
No error messages are generated. Surprisingly the stored proc executes fine when executed from the front-end from a Win 98 machine. It's giving a problem only on Win 2000. Could somebody please help us in finding a fix for this problem. Why is it behaving differently when executed from the front-end on a Win 2000 mahinne.
Thanks in advance.

Why is it behaving differently when executed from the front-end on a Win 2000 mahinne. Possible reasons.
-Because you aren't sending the same data.
-It is has an internal error and that is being ignored.
-It isn't going to the same database and the stored proc is actually different.

A query in Stored Procedure

Hi ,
I am using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to execute a DDL Statement inside a Stored Procedure .
But i am unable to see this table , please tell me why .
create or replace procedure NAmes

Hi,

Whenever you have a problem, post a compete test script that people can use to re-create the problem and test their ideas. The CREATE TABLE statement that you posted was a good start; add code to show how you ran it, and what you did to see if it worked or not.
For example:
create or replace procedure NAmes
is
begin
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE execute_table (col1 VARCHAR(10))';
    commit;   -- Not needed. DDL automatically causes COMMIT
end;
SHOW ERRORS
PROMPT     ===== Before Running Names Procedure =====
DESCRIBE     execute_table
EXEC names;
PROMPT     ===== After Running Names Procedure =====
DESCRIBE     execute_tableThis worked fine for me in Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 and SQL*Plus 10.2. Output:
Procedure created.
No errors.
===== Before Running Names Procedure =====
ERROR:
ORA-04043: object execute_table does not exist

COL1                                               VARCHAR2(10)What are you doing different?
Did you get any error messages?
Are you creating the procedure in one schema, and running it in another?
Did you call the names procedure from another procedure?
Don't make people guess. Guessing is not the best way to solve problems.
