Declare bind variables

Hi All,
I have one application(Java) in which the front end sends a list of values to backend(Oracle). The issue is i dont know how many number of parameters(values) would be there, it depends all on front end. But i want these values in my backend processing and want to use them as bind variables, so that i can build dynamic sqls and make dynamic calls.
Is there any way that i can declare all the values what i get from front end as bind variables so that they would be available for that user session and the backend can directly refer them as a normal variable, without referring to any other object.
Thanks in advance.

Dear,
Thanks for your answer, but the problem here is how to declare those variables ? if i declare them in a store procedure they would be local to that procedure and wont be available as bind variables.No.
When using PL/SQL (static SQL) you will never encounter issues related to bind variables. PL/SQL itself takes care of yourcode and uses bind variables behind the scene.
So, if you declare your variables inside a stored procedure, they will be automatically considered as bind variables. You don't have to care about. This is how PL/SQL (static SQL) works.
The only situation where you have to look carefully to the use of bind variable within PL/SQL is when you use Dynamic sql into stored procedures or functions (this is in fact another reason to avoid using dynamic SQL).
However, you need take care of the application which is calling your stored procedure. This calling application should call your stored procedure using input parameters as bind variables.
Otherwise, the library cache of your shared pool will be full of calls to your stored procedure.
Put it simply,
(a) do what you want inside your PL/SQL strored procedure (static SQL and not Dynamic SQL)
(b) call your stored procedure using bind variables
Hope this helps

Declaring bind variables using decimals

I'm on Oracle 11.2
In SQL Developer, I'm having hard time executing a SQL with a bind variable. Below is the test table.
create table TEST1 (TYP varchar2(3), NUM number(30,18));
insert into TEST1 values ('TTT', 45.15168794137111);
commit;
Then I execute the below query and it returns no results. Why?
VARIABLE P1 number;
EXEC :P1 := 45.15168794137111;
select * from TEST1 where NUM = :P1;
The above works in SQL Plus.

That replaces the SQL before it executes it. It is just like using literals. I wanted to use bind variables for performance testing purposes.
See the sql developer documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10405_01/doc/appdev.120/e10406.pdf
Run Script executes all statements in the Enter SQL Statement box using the Script
Runner. The SQL statements can include substitution variables (but not bind
variables) of type VARCHAR2 (although in most cases, VARCHAR2 is
automatically converted internally to NUMBER if necessary); a pop-up box is
displayed for entering substitution variable values.
Notice the 'but not bind variables'

Bind variable inside a package

Can we declare a bind variable inside a package specification?
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE GET_EMPLOYEEDETAILS
IS
PROCEDURE GET_FIRSTNAME(E_ID IN EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE, F_NAME OUT EMPLOYEES.FIRST_NAME%TYPE);
VARIABLE O VARCHAR2(20);
END GET_EMPLOYEEDETAILS ;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY GET_EMPLOYEEDETAILS
IS
PROCEDURE GET_FIRSTNAME(E_ID IN EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE, F_NAME OUT EMPLOYEES.FIRST_NAME%TYPE)
IS
BEGIN
SELECT FIRST_NAME INTO F_NAME FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID = E_ID;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(F_NAME);
END;
END GET_EMPLOYEEDETAILS;
Output:
ERROR at line 4: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "VARCHAR2" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( @ % ; not null range default character
The symbol ":=" was substituted for "VARCHAR2" to continue.
2. IS
3. PROCEDURE GET_FIRSTNAME(E_ID IN EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE, F_NAME OUT EMPLOYEES.FIRST_NAME%TYPE);
4. VARIABLE O VARCHAR2(20);
5. END GET_EMPLOYEEDETAILS ;
6. /
or is there any alternative for bind variables inside an package
Thanks in advance

The "VARIABLE O VARCHAR2(20);" syntax is the way SQLPlus declared bind variables - it is specific to the client. Because PL/SQL packages and procedures are server code that continue past sessions, its only access to the client environment is what the client gives it - it can't go and create a bind variable in the client.
PL/SQL procedures, functions and packages run from lots of environments, so they cannot access bind variables inside their body - you have to pass any external variables as parameters.
Anonymous PL/SQL blocks can access bind variables.
You can declare package public global variables - just leave out that "VARIABLE". E.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE GET_EMPLOYEEDETAILS
IS
PROCEDURE GET_FIRSTNAME(E_ID IN EMP.EMPNO%TYPE, F_NAME OUT EMP.ENAME%TYPE);
O VARCHAR2(20);
END GET_EMPLOYEEDETAILS ;
For local variables in your procedure, just put them between the IS and BEGIN. Using them in SQL inside the PL/SQL automatically uses them as a bind variable.
create or replace PROCEDURE GET_FIRSTNAME(E_ID IN EMP.EMPNO%TYPE, F_NAME OUT EMP.ENAME%TYPE)
IS
O VARCHAR2(20);
O2 VARCHAR2(21);
BEGIN
O := 'FR%';
SELECT ENAME INTO F_NAME FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO = E_ID and ENAME like O;
O2 := F_NAME || '2';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(F_NAME);
END;
O is bound in the query.
To access bind variables from anonymous PL/SQL, first declare them in the calling environment. In SQL Plus that's
VARIABLE O VARCHAR2(20);
In Pro*C it's
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
char[21] O
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
Then reference it in anonymous PL/SQL with a colon as prefix:
BEGIN
SELECT FIRST_NAME INTO :O FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID = E_ID;
END;
This only works for anonymous blocks (starting with BEGIN or DECLARE). As I said, PL/SQL procedures, functions and packages cannot see bind variables from the calling environment

Bind Variable popup when no bind variable declared

I am writing a fairly complex SQL (FYI, I want to keep this all in one step and not split out with multiple sub-selects) and I am getting the bind variable popup and an error message ("The requested URL /apex/wwv_flow.show was not found on this server ") and I am not sure why and could definitely use some help. From what I see there is no issue with the SQL syntax written and when I try to break it down, everything goes well until the point where I write a case statement with an OR and checking for 'BLOCK'.
The issue comes when using the bolded line.
I am using "10g Release 2 (10.2)" and querying from the SQL commands area inside it.
The goal is to identify the area of the court broken down by the x and y dimension, home and away team has different logic to be used and if it is a block there is different logic.
Your help would be greatly appreciated, and I am leaning towards it is a bug in the SQL Commands section of the tool:
The full query is below:
case when E.YEAR IS NOT NULL then
*(case when x_dimension < 12.5 then 'A' when x_dimension <= 25 then 'B' when x_dimension < 37.5 then 'C' else 'D' end ||*
case when ((a.action_team=c.awayname3 and A.ACTION_TYPE = 'BLOCK') or (a.action_team=c.homename3 and A.ACTION_TYPE <> 'BLOCK')) then (case when y_dimension < 9.5 then '4' when y_dimension <= 19 then '3' when y_dimension < 28.5 then '2' when y_dimension <= 38 then '1' else '0' end) else (case when y_dimension > 84.5 then '4' when y_dimension >= 75 then '3' when y_dimension < 65.5 then '2' when y_dimension <= 56 then '1' else '0' end) end) else 'NA' end as COURT_LOC
It would not allow to enter the full SQL but please know that there is no issue with any declaration of the columns.

It seems that it is an issue with the in house SQL client of XE as I downloaded SQL Developer and ran same query there and the result was no issues. Is anyone aware of a bug for something like this?
Edited by: user10615520 on Feb 29, 2012 10:43 AM

So I am running Oracle Database Express version 10g. When you login through the default web interface, there is a SQL command line option. When I utilize the SQL below, can't insert whole SQL statement for some reason it won't let me, in that SQL command line I get a pop up window asking about values for bind variables... But as you can see from the code below there is no declaration of a bind variable. I also get the error message from the original post.
When I use the same query in Oracle SQL Developer, not express (mistake in previous note), the query runs without any issues.
My question is if anyone is aware of the oracle database express sql command line module having a bug where this is occurring. When I remove the line below from the query it runs fine in the Oracle Database Express command line module.
Thank you for your help, I hope this is clear.
case when E.YEAR IS NOT NULL then
(case when x_dimension < 12.5 then 'A' when x_dimension <= 25 then 'B' when x_dimension < 37.5 then 'C' else 'D' end ||
case when ((a.action_team=c.awayname3 and A.ACTION_TYPE = 'BLOCK') or (a.action_team=c.homename3 and A.ACTION_TYPE <> 'BLOCK'))
then
(case when y_dimension < 9.5 then '4' when y_dimension <= 19 then '3' when y_dimension < 28.5 then '2' when y_dimension <= 38 then '1' else '0' end)
else
(case when y_dimension > 84.5 then '4' when y_dimension >= 75 then '3' when y_dimension < 65.5 then '2' when y_dimension <= 56 then '1' else '0' end)
end) else 'NA' end as COURT_LOC

Cleaning up your code for errors and eliminating unnecessary complexity...
Add a user-defined constructor which takes all attributes and calls the "setter" procedures in one trip:

    return;
end;
-- gets

(Since I don't have EMP handy at the moment, create a simple view instead)
create or replace view emp

How to declare a bind variable with 'date' data type in command prompt?

how to declare a bind variable with 'date' data type in command prompt?
sql>variable q date;
when i execute it show list of datatypes

Hi,
As Lokanath said, there are no DATE bind variables.
You can use a VARCHAR2 bind variable, and convert it to a DATE in your SQL statment.
If you're using SQL*Plus, consider a substitution variable. It won't be as efficient as a bind variable, but it will be as convenient.
For example:
DEFINE first_entrry_date = "DATE '2010-06-20''
SELECT   ...
WHERE   entry_date >= &first_entry_date
{code}

Bind variable not declared

hi all

But I cannot locate the error.
Thanks in Advance

variable jobno number
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:jobno,
'proc_mvref;',
SYSDATE, 'SYSDATE + 1');
commit;
END;
print jobno
Now it'll work.
or
set serveroutput on
declare jobno number;
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(jobno, -- note the edit
'proc_mvref;',
SYSDATE, 'SYSDATE + 1');
dbms_output.put_line(jobno);
commit;
END;
This will work too...

SP2-0552: Bind variable not declared error. Any help please?

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding the error that I am getting: SP2-0552: Bind variable "V_COUNT_TOT_BAL" not declared.
I have 'out' parameters declared in my procedure and executing the same from sql script as shown below:
set ver off
set serverout on
set linesize 8000
Declare
Variable v_count_dtl_bal NUMBER(10);
Variable v_updat_dtl_bal NUMBER(10);
Variable v_count_tot_bal NUMBER(10);
Begin
execute load_abc.insert_abc_bal(:v_count_dtl_bal,:v_updat_dtl_bal,:v_count_tot_bal);
End;
exit;
So, when this sql script runs it given me the above error. However, all the result looks good and there's no problem with the data or anything else that might be impacted. I suspect this error stems from the code in the sql script above.
Any idea what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any inputs.

Thanks Frank. I still receive the same error if I follow your example or any of the ones explained above. This is what I am getting and still an error underneath:

10g declare :global variable error (bad bind variable)

In a 10g form, I tried this code in the pl/sql block and in the spec of a library package
begin
:global.config := 'x';
...upon compile, I get an error
"bad bind variable"
...encountered the symbol "GLOBAL" when expecting one of the following...It doesn't like :GLOBAL.variablename := 'x';
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

globals are allowed in librarys, but in libraries you have to use COPY and NAME_IN to access objects you access via :-logic in forms-modules, e.g. setting the global would be like
COPY('X', 'GLOBAL.CONFIG');Edited by: aweiden on 29.10.2008 19:33

Null check for a bind variable in view criteria

Hi, Greetings.
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.0.
I have a view object, LocationsView, for locations table of the XE database.
I want to apply a condition, ((:bind_var is null) or (:bind_var is not null and location_id = :bind_var), in this LocationsView.
That is, I want to apply the condition only if the bind variable value is not null.
How can I construct this condition using a declarative view criteria?
Any help and hints on this regard is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Guru K

Hi,
Thanks for the update and it is working perfectly fine.
Now, how can I set the "ignore null values" option as checked if I am constructing the criteria programmatically using view criteria row and view criteria item at runtime.
Thanks and regards,
Guru K

Can viewObject get a parameter from sessionScope to binding variable?

hello,
using Jdev11g ADF Fusion application
Can viewObject get a parameter from sessionScope and assign into binding variable ? without using executeWithParameter
Thanks

A. Safwat,
As I said before, I was not trying to be offensive, but simply to explain some of the shortcomings of one solution over another. One of the reasons people give such short answers is that many questions (including this one) have been asked and answered many many many times before on the forum. As to my reasons:
1). Overkill - overkill because you are writing code to do what the framework already provides for you.
2). Not bind-variable friendly - you are gluing in literals into a SQL statement. That means that Oracle will have to hard parse the query for each new value of the filter clause, yielding to poor performance, particularly in a multiuser environment. It should ideally be done using bind variables.
3). Insecure (think about what happens if you put "'xyz' or 1=1" into the filterValue there) - not using bind variables is a security hole. Think through what happens if a filter criteria comes through like the one I mentioned.
4). Inflexible - because you are overriding executeQueryForCollection, this VO becomes inflexible and can only be used in this particular place. Using the declarative approach outlined by Timo is more flexible
5). Bad (ok, that's my opinion there) - OK, perhaps this was a bit offensive ;)
Please don't take a critique of a post as offensive, as I assure you it was not intended to be in that spirit. As I mentioned, I greatly appreciate when people point out issues/problems/etc with my ideas, as that is the best way for me to learn. I have in the past written applications that were not bind-variable friendly, and I learned the downsides the hard way (system was horribly non-performant) - I wish someone had reviewed my approach and told me "bad idea" before the application made it into production.
Respectfully,
John
