Dynamic SQL in a library

I am trying create a dynamic SQL statement in a library, A:
A.pll
Function A(InField in Char) Return Char Is
Select InField
INTO OutField
From TableA
Return OutField;
--InField will be passed in from a formula as follows:
Return A(Field);
How should I pass the Field into library A? I have tried using string but it did not work.
Thank you,
Tan

Sybrand,
That doesn't look like the issue
sql> show parameter timed_statistics
NAME TYPE VALUE
timed_statistics boolean TRUE

ODBC, bulk inserts and dynamic SQL

I am writing an application running on Windows NT 4 and using the oracle ODBC driver (8.01.05.00, that inserts many rows at a time (10000+) into an oracle 8i database.
At present, I am using a stored procedure to insert each row into the database. The stored procedure uses dynamic SQL because I can only determine the table and field names at run time.
Due to the large number of records, it tends to take a while to perform all the inserts. I have tried a number of solutions such as using batches of SQL statements (e.g. "INSERT...;INSERT...;INSERT..."), but the oracle ODBC driver only seems act on the first statement in the batch.
I have also considered using the FOR ALL statement and SQL*Loader utility.
My problem with FOR ALL is that I'm not sure it works on dynamic SQL statements and even if it did, how do I pass an array of statements to the stored procedure.
I ruled out SQL* Loader because I could not find a way to invoke it it from an ODBC statement. Secondly, it requires the spawining of a new process.
What I am really after is something similar the the SQL Server (forgive me!) BULK INSERT statement where you can simply create an input file with all the records you want to insert, and pass it along in an ODBC statement such as "BULK INSERT <filename>".
Any ideas??

Hi,
I faced this same situation years ago (Oracle 7.2!) and had the following alternatives.
1) Use a 3rd party tool such as Sagent or CA Info pump (very pricey $$$)
2) Use VisualC++ and OCI to hook into the array insert routines (there are examples of these in the Oracle Home).
3) Use SQL*Loader (the best performance, but no real control of what's happening).
I ended up using (2) and used the Rouge Wave dbtools.h++ library to speed up the development.
These days, I would also suggest you take a look at Perl on NT (www.activestate.com) and the DBlib modules at www.perl.org. I believe they will also do bulk loading.
Your problem is that your program is using Oracle ODBC, when you should be using Oracle OCI for best performance.

Dynamic SQL within a SQL Query ?

is there any possibility to do like this ?
SELECT table_name, XXXXXXXX('SELECT Count(*) FROM '||table_name) tot_rows
FROM dba_tables
WHERE owner = 'SCOTT';or any other trick to run dynamic SQL within the SQL Query?
Hoping....that it should be.
Regards,
Orapdev

One small disadvantage: it is executing 202 SQL statements: 3 "user SQL statements" (the one above and the 2 "select count(*)..."), and 199 internal ones ...How did you get to those numbers?
I just traced this statement and found completely different results:

SSRS - Stored procedure with Dynamic SQL Query

Am calling stored procedure in SSRS report. I have used Dynamic SQL query in stored procedure as I don't know the column name and column count. And I have used like below at end of the stored procedure "select * from ##temptable".
As I have used dynamic column, am not able to create report with this stored procedure. Can someone help me out to resolve this issue.
It will be highly appreciated if I get help.
Thanks

I have tried everything. But nothing has worked out.
If I get solution for below issue, it would be highly appreciated.
"An error occurred during local report processing.
The definition of the repport 'Main Report' is invalid.
The report defintion is not valid. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded.
Thanks
Hello,
I would suggest you post the complete error message to us for further investigation, if you preview the report before you deploy you may get a more detailed error that will help diagnose the source of the problem.
This issue is more related to SQL Server Reporting Services, it's more appropriate to discuss it in the forum below:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlreportingservices
Don't forget to elaborate your issue with more detail.
For the manual column, it might be the calculated field in SSRS. Here is the article for your reference, please see:

Using Dynamic SQL in Forms

Does anyone know anything about Dynamic SQL not being available in Forms v. 6.0.8.11.3? I trying to use Dynamic SQL for the first time and am having some difficulty. When I try to put my SQL in a function and run it straight into the database through SQLPlus, it works fine, but when trying to compile the code in Forms Builder (in a library), I get compiler errors. Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks!
Vanessa

When I tried to compile the following code in Forms, the compiler error I got was Encountered the symbol "STMT_STR" when expecting one of the following: select. However, when I run it in SQLPlus, it creates the function without any errors.
FUNCTION my_func
return number
is
TYPE DiaryCurTyp IS REF CURSOR;
cur DiaryCurTyp;
stmt_str VARCHAR2(200);
dmonth NUMBER;
dday NUMBER;
BEGIN
stmt_str := 'SELECT dmonth, dday FROM p2_diary
WHERE dmonth = :1';
OPEN cur FOR stmt_str USING '12';
LOOP
FETCH cur INTO dmonth, dday;
EXIT WHEN cur%NOTFOUND;
-- <process data>
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
END;

NULL and dynamic SQL

If table testrh2 has the following columns and data
col1 --> NULL
col2 --> 2
and table testrh has the following columsn and data
col1 --> NULL
How could I write a dynamic SQL statement to join on the nulls? I've written the following block as a starting point.
declare
cursor c1 is select col1 from isis.testrh;
lval varchar2(1000);
lval2 varchar2(1000);
begin
for r1 in c1 loop
lval := 'select col2 from isis.testrh2 where col1 = '||r1.col1;
execute immediate lval into lval2;
dbms_output.put_line(lval2);
end loop;
end;

You can't compare null values with '=' in Oracle SQL.
Null can only be compared with <column> is null .
You can see it when you try these two queries:
select * from dual where null is null; -- you will see one row
select * from dual where null=null; -- you will see no rowsThat's why you have to write something like
(<column1>=<column1> or (<column1> is null and <column2> is null))This should also work with null:
decode(<column1>,<column2>,1,0)=1By the way, why do you use dynamic sql?
lval := 'select col2 from isis.testrh2 where col1 = '||r1.col1;
I think you could replace your two lines ( lval:= ... AND execute immediate) by this:
begin
select col2
into lval
from isis.testrh2
where decode(col1,r1.col1,1,0)=1;
dbms_output.put_line('lval='||lval);
exception
when no_data_found then
dbms_output.put_line('no data found'); -- or whatever you want

How to rename C00n generic column names in a Dynamic SQL report

I have a an interface whereby the user can select 1 to 60 (upper limit) columns out of 90 possible columns (using a shuttle) from one table before running a report.
To construct the SQL that will eventually execute, I'm using a "PLSQL function body returning SQL query" with dynamic SQL. The only problem is that I have to use "Generic Column Names" option to be able to compile the code and end up with c001 to c060 as the column names.
How can I use the names of the selected columns as the report headings rather than c001, C002... etc?
I do not know beforehand which columns, or how many columns or the order of the selected columns.
I know Denes K has a demo called Pick Columns but I can't access his code. I have a hunch though that he may be just using conditions to hide/show the apropriate columns.
thanks in advance
PaulP

Hi Paul
I would change the Heading Type in the Report Details screen to PLSQL and use the shuttle item to return the column values. e.g.
RETURN :p1_shuttle;
I'm assuming the shuttle already has a colon separated list of the column headings in the correct order?
I hope that helps

Unique id in dynamic sql

hi all,
I am using oracle 10g version.
I have one table but i do not have any unique id to identify the row.
I want to have a unique id temporarily in my select statement (dynamic sql) in a stored procedure while fetching the results, so that i can return my results along with the unique id through the cursor.
Please help me...
Thanks in advance to all...

it depends if you have a more than one column that you can uniquely identify and put them together by concatenating you can have a unique id. or a rowid might help you to temporarily identify a row.

Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?

Hi ,
Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?
If yes please give some examples .
Thanx
srini

I believe the built-in package SRW.Do_Sql is what you are looking for
Example from the document:
/* Suppose you want to create a "table of contents" by getting the
** first character of a columns value, and page number on which its
** field fires to print. Assume that you want to put the "table of

** into a table named SHIP. You could write the following construct:
DECLARE
PAGE_NO NUMBER;
PAGE_FOR INDEX NUMBER;
SORT_CHAR CHAR(1);
CMD_LINE CHAR(200);
BEGIN
SORT_CHAR := :SORT_NAME ;
IF :CALLED = Y THEN
     SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_FOR_INDEX);
     SRW.USER_EXIT(RWECOP PAGE_FOR_INDEX
     P_START_PAGENO);
     SRW.MESSAGE(2,TO_CHAR(:P_START_PAGENO));
END IF;
SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_NO);
CMD_LINE := INSERT INTO SHIP VALUES
                      (||SORT_CHAR||,||TO_CHAR(PAGE_NO)||);
SRW.MESSAGE(2,CMD_LINE);
SRW.DO_SQL(CMD_LINE);
COMMIT;

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;

Dynamic sql and cursors

We are running an oracle sql procedure that uses a LOT of dynamic sql. We are using a 3rd party package (SQR) as a sort of shell to run the sql procedure. The 3rd party package passes to us an oracle error. This error says, in effect, that there are no inactive database cursors available and that the sql program is too large to process. We conclude from this that we must increase one or more of the cursor parameters in init.ora (v$parameters). Is this the correct assumption? If not, does anyone know what we can do? We'd prefer not to break up the sql procedure into smaller pieces.

increase the parameter for open cursors.
check, wether all cursors in your programs are closed in time, or if you are using ref cursors from front-ends (e.g. Java JDBC) that this front-ends close these ref cursors , too.
If you want to decrease the size of procedures get rid of comments, superfluos spaces, tabs, etc.
keep a commented version outside vor documentation purposes.
Hope thsi helps

Dynamic SQL and 255 bytes per line limit

I would like to create a Dynamic SQL statement that is longer than 255 bytes. What do I need to do to embed a carriage return or something so that the resultant string is broken up into multiple lines?

Please ignore. This was a stupid question!

Dynamic SQL and GRANT CREATE ANY TABLE

hi gurus,
i have a dynamic SQL in a procedure where a table will be created from an existing table without data.
strSQL:='create table ' || strTemp || ' as select * from ' || strArc || ' where 1=2';
execute immediate strSQL;
without GRANT CREATE ANY TABLE for the user, *"ORA-01031: insufficient privileges"* error during execution.
Is there a way to tackle this issue without providing GRANT CREATE ANY TABLE privilige?
many thanks,
Charles

ravikumar.sv wrote:
The problem is not because of dynamic sql...It probably has something to do with dynamic SQL or, more accurately, dynamic SQL within a stored procedure.
From a SQL*Plus command prompt, you can create a table if your account has the CREATE TABLE privilege either granted directly to it or granted to a role that has been granted to your account. Most people probably have the CREATE TABLE privilege through a role (hopefully a custom "developer role" that has whatever privileges you grant to users that will own objects but potentially through the default RESOURCE role). That is not sufficient to create tables dynamically via a definer's rights stored procedure. Only privileges that are granted directly to the user, not those granted via a role, are visible in that case.
I expect that the DBAs are granting the CREATE ANY TABLE privilege directly to the account in question rather than through whatever role(s) are being used which is why that appears to solve the problem.
