Performance in plsql report

hi guru's.
i have a doubt in plsql performnace, i have been using many GTT in my project now, i feel to remove all GTT's intead of i plan to introduce collections.
is it really improve the performance, i am thinking to avoid the context-switch?

Memory usage depends mainly on WHAT is processed, and partly by WHICH means it is processed.
So if you process a lot of data, it possible to lead nearly every report to dump.
Your information is much to poor to say more.

A doubt in xml ..should i use extract or make my own plsql function..

I am using apex.. and fetchiNG data in xml format..
Now in plsql ..There are functions ..like extract which can be used to extract the values..
But i find it difficult to understand
since i find making a function which shall use substring and instr to find the value .. .
Wait let me show you the example of xml..data

Now how do i extract values of town, postal_country building_name,
I know we can use extract to get the result ..But how exactly to use extract here I dotn know..
The other method is a easier method.. which involves creating your own function which uses substr ..and instr
It shal lsearch for <organisation_name> and find the orgonizatio..
I dont know which approch is betTER .. I find making my own customised function a easier and better way..
But any one has idea on extract function ..please let me know..

Doubt in simple plsql coding

good evening every one,
i am new to plsql can anyone verify my coding what is wrong in my coding......
declare
countr varchar2(2); countr := &country varchar(2);
cc varchar(3);
l_en varchar(50);
ab nvarchar2(50);
begin
select countrycode.rrl,langname_en.rl,abrivation.rl into cc.rrl,l_en.rl,ab.rl from res_language rl inner join res_relcountrylan rrl on rl.langid=rrl.langid where countrycode=countr;
end;
thanking you,

thanking you,
prakashThere are multiple problems with your code
declare
countr varchar2(2); countr := &country varchar(2); -- 1. You declared the same data name twice
cc varchar(3);    -- it should be countr varchar2(2) := '&country';
l_en varchar(50);
ab nvarchar2(50);
begin
select countrycode.rrl -- 1. If this is returns more than 1 row you will get a run time error
      ,langname_en.rl -- 2. It's table_alias.column_name not the other way round, so rrl.countrycode
      ,abrivation.rl
into cc.rrl   -- 3. cc, l_en, and ab, no .rl or .rrl on the end
      ,l_en.rl
      ,ab.rl
from res_language rl
inner join res_relcountrylan rrl on rl.langid=rrl.langid
where countrycode=countr;
end;Like I said if that select returns more than one row you will get a run time error. You may have to make arrays of your variables and do bulk collects, or set up a loop to process all the rows.

Reports 6i - doubt in executing plsql

Can any 1 pls help how to execute the report from plsql or scheduled job and not from a form
I have a report that works fine, The concern now is that somebody will have to manually run this process. It should be something automated, wherein it will run on it's own
Some batch job which will trigger automatically as per the pre defined schedule
Thx in advance
Imran

Generally with these sort of things we have a Windows Scheduled Task set up on the server (or I suppose cron on a unix server). Setting up something inside the database to call an Oracle Report on a scheduled basis is way more fiddly than it needs to be.

Plsql interview doubt

i need these two. .
1) an interviewer asked me that what is the need of pipelining even though i can return a collection with normal function?
2)when we call an sql statement in a plsql . what is the type of context switch will raise i.e the statement type context switch or data context switch.

1) an interviewer asked me that what is the need of pipelining even though i can return a collection with normal function?Pipelining negates the need to build huge collections by piping rows out of the function as they are created, saving memory and allowing subsequent processing to start before all the rows are generated.

PLSQL doubt

I am new to PLSQL,
I will be passing a parameter from unix shell when executing a plsql file. This parameter will be used IN statement of the plsql.
for example i will pass "'dy','pp','dh'" as a sting parameter.
in plsql i have
WHERE STATUS IN (&1);
The problem I am facing is that it takes the whole parameter as single value insteated of dy, pp,dh. I dont know how to solve this problem. Plz help

You should look carefully at the sql*plus output - as You can see it types the real string passed to &1:
SQL> select table_name from user_tables where table_name in (&1);
Enter value for 1: 'TEST_TABLE1','TEST_TABLE2'
old 1: select table_name from user_tables where table_name in (&1)
new 1: select table_name from user_tables where table_name in ('TEST_TABLE1','TEST_TABLE2')
TABLE_NAME
TEST_TABLE1
TEST_TABLE2
SQL>
I think, the root of trouble is in the processing of special character "'" in shell.

Plsql - varray in a varray doubt/issue

Hi,
My Oracle version:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
"CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production"
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
Please find the code below:
create or replace
procedure p_varray_test
AS
type t_va_emp_group_sal is varray(10) of number(9);
type t_2d_VA is varray(2) of t_va_emp_group_sal;
L2DVAv_test t_2d_VA := t_2d_VA(t_va_emp_group_sal(11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19));
begin
L2DVAv_test.extend;
L2DVAv_test(2)(1) := 21;
dbms_output.put_line(L2DVAv_test(2)(1));
end;
its getting compiled but when I am trying to run it, I am getting the following error:
ORA-06532: Subscript outside of limit
please help me with this issue.
Now if I modify the code something like this:
create or replace
procedure p_varray_test
AS
type t_va_emp_group_sal is varray(10) of number(9);
type t_2d_VA is varray(2) of t_va_emp_group_sal;
L2DVAv_test t_2d_VA := t_2d_VA(t_va_emp_group_sal(11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19),t_va_emp_group_sal(11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19));
begin
L2DVAv_test.extend;
L2DVAv_test(2)(1) := 21;
dbms_output.put_line(L2DVAv_test(2)(1));
end;
this code is perfectly working fine for me but I want to understand why am i getting the error above.
Regards
Rahul

Let's start with your second (working) example first:
L2DVAv_test t_2d_VA := t_2d_VA(t_va_emp_group_sal(11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19),t_va_emp_group_sal(11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19));Now you have an "outer" varray initialized with two elements. Each of those two elements are initialized with an "inner" varray each with 9 elements.
L2DVAv_test.extend;The "outer" varray has now been extended with a third element. That third element is as yet not initialized.
L2DVAv_test(2)(1) := 21;The value of first element of the "inner" varray in the second element of the "outer" varray is changed to 21.
So "11" in your second t_va_emp_group_sal expression is changed to 21.
Now your first example:
L2DVAv_test t_2d_VA := t_2d_VA(t_va_emp_group_sal(11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19));Now you have an "outer" varray initialized with one element. That single element is initialized with an "inner" varray each with 9 elements.
L2DVAv_test.extend;The "outer" varray has now been extended with a second element. That second element is as yet not initialized.
L2DVAv_test(2)(1) := 21;L2DVAv_test(2) will get you the second element of the "outer" varray.
But that element is not yet initialized, so you cannot reference "the first element of the inner varray" here.
But this should work after your extend:
L2DVAv_test(2) := t_va_emp_group_sal(21);Now you are initializing an "inner" varray with one element and assigning that newly initialized varray to become the second element of the "outer" varray.

How to handle the plsql error occuring in the exception block

We know how to handle exceptins which occur in BEGIN block.
But am unable to catch the exception in the exception block. Am writing an erroeneous code so that the control will go to exception block and there is also one plsql error, but am unable to handle that error, it's returning the error to the calling environment.
DECLARE
cnt NUMBER(5):=0;
BEGIN
select 'debalina' INTO cnt from dual;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(to_char(cnt));
EXCEPTION
WHEN invalid_number THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('error has occured inside begin block');
cnt:='deba';
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('error has occured inside begin block');
END;
please suggest me how to catch this exception?

Hi,
DECLARE
cnt NUMBER(5):=0;
BEGIN
select 'debalina' INTO cnt from dual;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(to_char(cnt));
EXCEPTION
WHEN invalid_number THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('error has occured inside begin block');
cnt:='deba';
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('error has occured inside begin block');
END;
First of all your namee exception which you have posted i.e invalid_number itself is wrong.
You need to use named exception VALUE_ERROR for catching the exception in the main block.

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.Your doubt regarding catching the exception in exception block, you can execute as below, by nesting a Begin block inside the exception block itself.

Clarification needed in calling synchronous bpel process from plsql

Hello all,
I am trying to a bpel from the plsql function as given in the folowing link:
http://orasoa.blogspot.com/2006/10/calling-bpel-process-from-raw-plsql.html
I have a doubt that, what is: p_DefaultDetail ?
and what is XMLTRANSFORM method here is used for?
I am getting an error that XMLTRANSFORM is not detected.
can any one provide some pointers to get it resolved.
Thanks
Krrish

If you install the database you also have the option to install optional components. One of these is the xmldb (or some support for it in the database , dunno how to call it).
So i guess you need to install this extra component and you're there (assuming Marc his reply on the question where to find the xmltransform function is correct :))

PLSQL Interview Questions

Hi
I recently faced an interview below are some of the questions I was unable to answer confidently.
Please can you answer these:
1. In an Explain plan, what does the columns "Time" and "Rows" suggest? Is it the actual time the query should take and the actual number of rows it should return? Or something else?
2. I have a Select, Insert, Update and Delete grants on a table. Which of these I can do:
a. Create a trigger for (Insert or Update or delete) on that table.
b. Create a trigger on view of that tabe.
3. There are 2 triggers on a table (before Insert on that table). The only difference between 2 triggers is - one is row level, other is statement level.
Now If i try to insert data in that table, which of these triggers will be fired?
4. I have a table with 90 million records. I want to delete some 60 million records randomly. What is the most efficient way to do this? [Can use PLSQL as well]
Thanks
AB

first Thanks you for your reply
1. You do not explain what CTAS means, Hoek does. For anyone that is unfamiliar with that acronym they won't be able to understand what you mean. And if someone does know what CTAS means they may still not know how creating a new table will result in data being deleted from the original table.yes i does not explain, because Hoek already explained and i do not fit sochel
2. You stated 'ctas method will be best' almost as if it were a fact and there couldn't be any doubt about it. Hoek hinted that there might be another way that 'could' be faster. Many things Oracle are not so cut & dried and often part of the answer will be 'it depends'. All anyone needs to do is find ONE exception to the rule to disapprove it.yes you are right, I just did not put it quite clear
3. You do not provide ANY explanation as to how a CTAS solution, which creates a new table, would end up DELETING data in the orginal table as OP asked. Hoek provided two links to an authoritive source that provides an explanation and example. in the topic was not a specific question about how to remove data from a large table, I just gave direction, sometimes the for topic creators , that it is always better to seek and find ownself to be more useful than giving an ready answer
I'm only saying the above to make a point to try to help you provide even better, and more complete, answers in the future. Thank you
People that are familiar with CTAS and have used it to effect a DELETE of rows from a table (including yourself) will understand what you probably meant just because you said 'CTAS'.
But your answer won't be much help to anyone else. They will need to search 'CTAS' on the net. And that alone won't help them get an understanding of the many other issues that need to be taken into account if you choose to use ctas to effect a delete by actually using the new table that you create:
1. the data may wind up in a different tablespace
2. the resulting table may not wind up being identical to the original table
3. issues with constraints on the existing table that either can't be created on the new table or can't be created with the same name
4. issues with grants on the existing table that will need to be recreated on the new table
5. issues with code references on the existing table - that code will be invalid if the existing table is dropped and will need to be recompiled if the new table is renamed to use the original name.
For some use cases the effects of one or more of those issues above will outweigh the speed improvements that CTAS might provide.Again, I believe that, in such matters is always better to redirect people than explain all things, because when people searching and finding own problem ownself, he/she will understand solution better than we explain him/her.
Thanks again

Interpretting HASH_MAP to PLSQL

Hello All,
My oracle version in 10.2.0.4 on a solaris V880 machine.
Our Application Java SDK is 1.4.
I am trying to pass in a series of XML (considerably huge for XML type column) from java application plsql which stores them into an oracle table with column as external BLOB. Since the contents are so heavy for each objects , using XMLTYPE column is not feasible.
The xml files comes as either java hash_map or string which i have to pass as parameter to an Oracle stored procedure which stores as external BLOB in OS through a table.
My first doubt is this the correct approach.
My second doubt here is how to interpret java hash_map object within PLSQL when it is passed to it.
Apologies if the question is silly since i am a new comer to java.
Thanks in advance ,
Vijay G

Is it possible to just get the file name "reaper"from it instead of reaper.txtActually, I ran a test, and
     System.out.println( "file name portion == " + ( f.getName().split( "\\." ) )[ 0 ] );works also:
This has the same effect as:
     String fileName = f.getName();
     String splitFileName[] = fileName.split( "\\." );
     System.out.println( "file name portion == " + splitFileName[ 0 ] );Now that I think about it, the second form is more easily understood. There is really no reason to do it the first way. Just interesting to note that you can.
