Dynamic sql error

hi,
my pro*c program throws "syntax error" when my query is like this.
SELECT level, a_id,(select usine from CARA where cara_id=a_id)
     FROM causalites
     WHERE LEVEL <= 9999
     START WITH i_id = 5
     CONNECT BY PRIOR a_id = id_aff;
The problem is with the select statement inside a select. if i change the query using join the performance goes very bad, that's why i used this way. is there any option for this to correct. why i am getting this error with this kind of query?
version : Pro*C/C++: Release 9.2.0.8.0
Thanks in advance,
Abu

Two questions:
(1) If you type this into SQL*Plus does it work?
(2) Are you including the semicolon in the text passed your OCI call? OCI does not want them.

Dynamic SQL Error -ORA-00904: invalid identifier

Hello!
I'm really hoping I can get some fast help on this. In the interest of honesty, this is for a university oracle programming assignment. I've searched everywhere I can for the answer and haven't had any luck.
Anyway, the problem in a nutshell. I have to write a package to write a text file. The formatting information for the file is held in a table, which has columns to define the various characteristics like justification, padding character and field value.
RECORDTYPE FIELDNAME FIELDVALUE FIELDSIZE FIELDORDER PADDINGCHAR JUSTIFICATION DATASOURCE
7 CreditTotal v_credit 10 5 '0' LPAD PROGRAM
7 RecordType '7' 1 1 ' ' RPAD HARDCODE
I can build the whole file except this footer. the FieldValue "v_credit" references a variable that has the calculated total of the credit amounts for the file. There are also "v_debit", and "(v_credit-v_debt)" entries.
My question seems simple... How can I use this VARCHAR2 value from the table, and have it reference the variable within a Dynamic SQL string? If I use the textvalue of the column in the SQL string it gives me the invalid identifier error when it hits the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement. There is another row for the header which has "to_char(sysdate,'DDMMYYYY')" in it, and that runs fine. I'm assuming because they are native SQL statements and variables.
I have tried encapsulating the v_credit in "s, and using dynamica bind variables but had the same problem passing the names to the USING clause.
The SQL string created by the procedure is: SELECT LPAD(v_credit,10,'0' ) FROM dual
The full error is:
ORA-00904: "V_CREDIT": invalid identifier
ORA-06512: at "BWOOD.PKG_BRIAN", line 108
ORA-06512: at line 2
Line 108 is the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement
I would really appreciate someones help! I'm happy to post the procedure I've written, with the caveat that it's sloppy student work and needs cleaning up of all the experimental commented attempts:)

Thank you for the fast replies. I'll post a short chunk of code to demonstrate.
The actual procedure is quite a bit longer, but this should give you the idea.
PROCEDURE build_dbfile (p_settlement_date IN DATE, p_settlement_key IN VARCHAR2, p_type IN VARCHAR2) AS
v_sqlString    VARCHAR2(4000) := 'SELECT ';
v_rectype     NUMBER := 7;
v_line           LONG;
v_debit        NUMBER := 0;
v_credit       NUMBER := 0;
v_nrRecords    NUMBER := 0;
CURSOR c_settlement IS... -- to select records for data rows
-- cursor to select the rows with the file formatting and data info
CURSOR c_header IS   SELECT   NVL(fieldvalue,fieldname) db_field, <---- selects the data column
                                               fieldsize,
                                               NVL(paddingchar, ''' ''') paddingchar,
                                               NVL(justification,'LPAD') justification,
                                              datasource
                                  FROM     FSS_DESKBANK_REF
                                  WHERE    recordtype = r_rec_types.recordtype
                                  ORDER BY recordType, fieldorder;
-- SELECT to get the SUM of datarows for v_credit
SELECT      SUM(transactionamount)
INTO      v_credit...
-- SELECT to get the SUM of datarows for v_debit
SELECT      SUM(transactionamount)
INTO      v_debit....
FOR r_head IN c_header LOOP
v_sqlString := v_sqlString || r_head.justification|| '('
                                     || r_head.db_field ||','
                                     || r_head.fieldsize || ','
                                     || r_head.paddingchar || ')';
v_sqlString := v_sqlString || ' FROM ' || v_tbl_name;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('SQL --> '||v_sqlString);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sqlString INTO v_line;
END LOOP;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_line);
END build_dbfile;So the loop goes through the table rows, grabs each data value and formatting column, and builds the sql string, which is then passed to the execute statement. The issue is the ones where the datarow contains a reference to v_credit, and the error is generated. ie r_head.db_field contains the string "v_credit"
Satish, the sql does look like that in the string, but the string is built from the table, not hardcoded. ie v_sqlString = "SELECT LPAD(v_credit,10,'0' ) FROM dual" when it is passed to the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.

Getting error while using DYNAMIC SQL

Hi Team,
I am Oracle DBA. I have limited knowledge on PL/SQL. I used below PL/SQL code to drop 50 partitons from one of the table.
I used Dynamic SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to drop partions. But error occured. If I commented EXECUTE IMMEDIATE, procedure executed successfully.
Please suggest me, where i did the mistake. Also please suggest for better code than my code. please find below code and error details.

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

PL/SQL code runs on the server, inside an Oracle process - thus PL/SQL code cannot dynamically write and display messages to the client. That server process is not connected to any keyboard, mouse or display.
DBMS_OUTPUT can be used. This is a PL/SQL buffer area in that server process that code can write lines of text too. When the server process informs the client that it has completed, the client can now request the contents of the DBMS_OUTPUT buffer and the client can display it on the client device.
This is what set serveroutput on in SQL*Plus does - tell the sqlplus client to request the DBMS_OUTPUT buffer after each Oracle server call made and to display the contents locally.
So to display the SQL command can be done using DBMS_OUTPUT. E.g.
declare
dropPart varchar2(32767);
begin
for c in (select...) loop
    dropPart := 'alter table my_tab drop partition '||c.partition_name';
    --// write the SQL command to DBMS_OUTPUT
    DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( dropPart );
    --// execute the SQL using a begin..end block in order to catch error
    begin
      execute immediate dropPart;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( 'command completed successfully' );
    exception when OTHERS then
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( 'command failed with: '||SQLERRM(SQLCODE) );
    end;
end loop;
end;So after this code block has been executed and partitions dropped, sqlplus will display the DBMS_OUTPUT generated by this code block.

ERROR creating table with dynamic SQL :-(

Hi friends,
I have a problem when I try to create a table using dynamic SQL.
(Env.: Forms 6i, WinXP, Oracle 9i)
I only want to create a table, insert data and drop the table.
I have a user with the correct privileges (At least ....I think so), because I can to make the three actions in SQL*PLUS (CREATE TABLE, INSERT .. and DROP TABLE).
I want to do the same in Forms using dynamic SQL...
I've made a package with 3 procedures:
1st to create the table, 2nd to insert data , 3rd to drop the table.
Only the 1st fails with the error ORA-01031 (insufficient privileges).
Here it is:
PROCEDURE PRO_DM_CreaTabla(pe_nombre_tabla VARCHAR2) IS
id_cursor INTEGER;
ls_sentencia VARCHAR2(500);
v_dummy integer;
BEGIN
id_cursor := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
ls_sentencia := 'CREATE TABLE '||pe_nombre_tabla||' ( campo1 VARCHAR2(100), campo2 VARCHAR2(100), campo3 VARCHAR2(100),campo4 VARCHAR2(100))';
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(id_cursor, ls_sentencia, dbms_sql.NATIVE);
v_dummy := dbms_sql.execute(id_cursor);
DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(id_cursor);
END;
The DROP_table procedure is exactly the same as this (with the difference of the 'CREATE' sentence, where I have a DROP sentence)... then.. why the DROP procedure works?... and.. why this CREATE procedure doesn't work?
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.
Jose.

From a different thread, Jose wrote:
V_INSERT:='INSERT INTO TMP_TABLE(field1,field3,field3,field4) VALUES (1,2,3,4)';
Forms_DDL(V_INSERT);
commit;First, try your statement in SQL Plus:

Then if that works, try doing this right after the Forms_DDL(V_INSERT);
If not form_success then

ORA-06502:PL/SQL:numeric or value error. Dynamic SQL the only answer??

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
I have an HTMLDB report that errors with the above message. The query is over 7000 characters long so I'm guessing this is the cause. If I retrieve the query from a query table, replace the variables in the LONG query using PL/SQL and execute using dynamic SQL, are the HTMLDB reporting features the same as if I was using a simple SQL query? Is there a better way? I will need to 'drill-down' from this report so how do I create the links? The only HTMLDB PL/SQL package I can find mentioned in the User's Guide is HTMLDB_PLSQL_JOB.
Cheers, Paul

Hello All,
I have the same problem.
For me it started when i got about 500 rows in the table
on which the LOV is based.
With a lot of trying with substr I managed to find the size of the string which it still accepted, which was 51 characters.
So I thought it was some glitch in the APEX insides, and since I had no time to resolve it further, I went on working.
But I have to resolve it now, because the following mysterious behaviour is occurring:
Every few records added to the base table, the problem occurs again, and I can resolve it by cutting down the string
with one character.
I have now reached 39 characters !?
I am afraid that I will end up with 1 character or even null.
If I switch to Popup list based on LOV there's no problem, and the complete strings are shown.
The maximum length of the string in my basetable is 252, but the data in it now reaches 55 at most.
Any idea welcome!
I did already recreate the master-detail form from scratch, but there the same behaviour.
greetings,
Richard Kloostra

Doubt & Error Using Dynamic SQL

Hello,
According to oracle documentation for Dynamic SQL using ' Method 2 ' ... which says ...
Method 2
This method lets your program accept or build a dynamic SQL statement, then process it using the PREPARE and EXECUTE commands. The SQL statement must not be a query. The number of placeholders for input host variables and the datatypes of the input host variables must be known at precompile time. For example, the following host strings fall into this category:
'INSERT INTO EMP (ENAME, JOB) VALUES (:emp_name, :job_title)'
'DELETE FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO = :emp_number'
Now for trying this method i created a procedure .. named .. 'aj_proc_1'
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE aj_proc_1(p_id IN NUMBER)
IS
BEGIN
     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'delete from aj_test_1 where id = :p_id';
END aj_proc_1;
And the table which m using in this procedure is ...
SQL> select * from aj_test_1;
ID NAME
1 aijaz
2 melwin
3 aasim
4 satish
5 ashok
So now whn m calling this Procedure & wanted to delete the record with id '2' ... m getting an Error...the way m executing this procedure is ...
SQL> execute aj_proc_1(2);

Getting error during Dynamic sql

Hi,
I'm facing issue with dynamic sql.My aim in the following code is to get count from the table, if pattern "xyz" exits for past 5 mins.
I'm getting the following error
ORA-01006: bind variable does not exist
/* *Sample code is/
declare
lv varchar2(10):='xyz';
li_count number :=0;
sql_var varchar2(2000):=null;
begin
sql_var := 'SELECT COUNT(1) FROM wms_trace WHERE LOWER(MSG_TEXT) LIKE LOWER(''%' || ':1' ||'%'') AND create_dt> sysdate - 0.083333/24';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(sql_var);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_var into li_count using lv;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(li_count);
end;
I went for dynamic sql since i could not put my vairable in side , as follow
like lower ('%lv%'). If i put instead of search for "xyz" it will search for variable name itself as "lv"
Thanks in advance for your help
Kannan

You don't need to use dynamic SQL in this case. Try the following (untested):
DECLARE
lv varchar2(10):='xyz';

Why an "ORA-01006: bind variable does not exist" error when no dynamic SQL?

Hi all,
While running PL/SQL in SQL Developer 3.2.09, I got the following error after adding a section of code. Note that nothing I'm doing has anything to do with dynamic SQL (which is what 01006 is supposedly about).
Error report:
ORA-01006: bind variable does not exist
01006. 00000 - "bind variable does not exist"
*Cause:
*Action:
After commenting out the new chunk of code that caused the error, the error persisted.
After deleting the new code, the error went away.
What the heck!?!? If you have any ideas, please lay 'em on me.
Thanks so much,
Kim
P.S. It's a few hundred lines of code, so I didn't append it to this post and I don't see how to attach a file.

Let's review a few facts:
1. You post a question in the sql developer forum that has no apparent relation to sql developer. You could confirm this by doing the test using sql*plus or some other tool.
2. You provide NO information about what database you are even using. The only clue is an ORA -xxx message that means SOME version of Oracle is involved.
3. You provide NO information about what the four digit version of Oracle DB is being used.
4. You provide NO information about what the code in general or what that specific section of the code is even doing. The code could be doing literally anything that Oracle is capable of doing.
That's a bit like calling a mechanic you don't know, telling them your car is making a funny noise and asking them what the problem with your car is.

Your first clue that your troubleshooting method is seriously flawed is when you make statements that aren't supported by any evidence at all but appear to be nothing but your opinion.
Your second clue is when those statements appear to directly contradict what Oracle is telling you.
I'm talking about these two statements you make; which you state as if they were universal truths

If thoe were true then your 'unstated' conclusion appears to be that Oracle is wrong in saying 'bind variable does not exist'
Sorry - but I would place my money on Oracle.
I'm sure the above may sound harsh - it is intended to be. My four major rules (there are more) when troubleshooting Oracle problems.
1. Assume that Oracle is CORRECT when it tells you there is a problem.
2. Assume that you are WRONG if your opinion conflicts with what Oracle is telling you - see rule #1.
3. Don't make ANY other assumptions. You can form hypotheses but don't state them as facts until they are proven.
4. Your 'opinion' is only useful to the extent that it can help you form meaningful hypotheses - see rule #3.
>
To reiterate, there is no dynamic SQL in the code.
>
To reiterate - if, as you state, that error relates to dynamic SQL and bind variables then it can not be disputed that:
ORACLE DOESN'T AGREE WITH YOU!
So let's try it my way and hypothesize that Oracle is correct (see rule #1 above).
Then by definition this statement by Oracle is correct
>
ORA-01006: bind variable does not exist
>
And that should immediately raise this question:
1. where might there be a bind variable that does not exist?
which leads to a prerequisite question:
2. where are ALL of the bind variables that might be being used?
Question #2 is where you need to start your search. Here are at least five possibilities (there are more)
1. your code - this should be easiest to check and you state that your 'anonymous' block does not have any.
2. a table trigger - triggers that use the :NEW, :OLD or :PARENT pseudocolumns. Those psuedocolumns are BIND variables and the trigger code that uses them is, by definition, dynamic sql.
3. a pl/sql package/function/procedure - any of these might be being called from trigger code or a view that is involved in the transaction. Any of these could take a parameter and/or use bind variables and cause your problem if that bind variable does 'not exist'.
4. a functional index - can also trigger code from #3 above
5. an audit trigger that logs the audit activity that your user or your code is performing. This code could be trying to use a SYS_CONTEXT environment variable that has not been created and cause a 'bind variable does not exist' error.
See rule #1 - Oracle is CORRECT. Until you have identified and examined ALL of the code (not just your anonymous block) being executed and ruled it out you should continue with the hypotheses that Oracle is CORRECT.
In the (extremely) unlikely event that you can show that Oracle is NOT correct you should file a SOR with Oracle.

Dynamic SQL Help - Getting Errors

Basically I have a table with employee data, and I'm trying to create a dynamic PL / SQL block that creates a new table and copies over the data from employee table to the new one.
I'm teaching myself dynamic SQL so this is practice. Please don't offer "better solutions" because I'm sure there are plenty - I'm just looking to complete the code as is so I better understand this query language.
Here is my code:
set serveroutput on size 10000
declare
cursor c is
select table_name, tablespace_name
from user_tables where table_name = 'EMP';
cursor c2 is
select table_name, column_name, data_length, data_type, data_precision
from user_tab_cols where table_name = 'EMP';
cursor c3 is
select *
from emp;
counter number(3);
counter := 0;
begin
for i in c loop
if (counter = 0) then
create table emp2;
insert into emp2 table_name, tablespace_name;
for i in c2 loop
insert into emp2 table_name, column_name, data_length, data_type, data_precision;
counter := counter + 1;
end loop;
end loop;
for i in c3 loop
insert into emp2 empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, deptno;
end loop;
end;
Here are my errors:

Dynamic sql giving error --please help

Hi ,
I have written the following code --
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION tabcount (
tab IN VARCHAR2, field IN VARCHAR2 ,whr IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN INTEGER
IS
retval INTEGER;
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('whr' ||whr);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('field1' ||field);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
' SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' || tab ||
' WHERE ' || field || 'like '/'%'||whr ||'%'/''
INTO retval;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('countis!' ||retVal);
RETURN retval;
END tabcount;
It is giving the following error--
ORA-00920: invalid relational operator
ORA-06512: at "TABCOUNT", line 10
ORA-06512: at line 2
I am not sure how to enclose the like operator within the single quotes.Double quotes is not working for me.
Thanx in advance,
Ira

Offhand, it looks like you may still have some syntax problems -- probably need a blank space before the WHERE --maybe some other stuff too.
What you need to do to debug it is this (and this works just about anytime you are having trouble with dynamic SQL):
1. store the sql statement in a variable.
2. Use DBMS_OUTPUT to display your select statement BEFORE calling execute immediate.
3. copy/paste that select into a separate window and run/debug it.
4. Once you know what is wrong with that statement, go back and fix the code accordingly.
Have fun,

Error: while preparing dynamic sql

Hi,
I have developed a new OAF page.
I have created a empty VO (without query) and I am setting up query and executing the VO programmatically in the AM.
in the same way I hava a table region (empty) and I am setting the fields for the table region programmatically based on the query.
When i execute the query, I am getting the result at the first time... but if i change the query, I am getting the following error. could you please help me to get it fixed?

How to mention numbers in array while creating dynamic sql

Hi,
I am creating a dynamic sql and in that I am selecting some rows from the table and storing it into the array.
I am firing this sql statement within trigger.
But i got the error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
I took the same sql statement (the one which was created dynamically) in the procedure and tried to run it but it gave me the same error.
=========================================================
Begin
type NewValueArray is table of varchar2(4000);
nVal_Array NewValueArray;
Begin
Select
DISCOVERYHOSTNAME,
DISCOVERYMACPRIMARYPHYSICAL,
DISCOVERYSERIALNUMBER
into
nVal_Array(1),
nVal_Array(2),
nVal_Array(3)
from ALT_42_Consolidated
where rowid = 'AAEWNEABXAAAAkxAAA';
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
Raise;
End;
=========================================================
I tried using to_number but still the same error.
Can some body please inform me where I am goofing.
Thanks!

I got a different error, but you need to initialise your nval_array and make sure it can hold three values. The following should work:
declare
type NewValueArray is table of varchar2(4000);
nVal_Array NewValueArray := NewValueArray();
Begin
nval_array.extend(3);
Select col1, col2, col3
into nVal_Array(1), nVal_Array(2), nVal_Array(3)
from tab1
where rowid = 'AAAGJZAAGAAAAAWAAV';
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
Raise;
End;
