Dynamic table names without dynamic sql?
I am trying to figure out a way to use table names as variables without using dynamic sql.
So for instance, I have...
execute immediate 'INSERT INTO '||vTABLE||' VALUES ('test')';
and
execute immediate 'INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT * FROM '||vTable;
Is there any other way to do these without the dynamic sql in Oracle 10.2g?
I am trying to figure out a way to use table names as variables without using dynamic sql. Well I guess it makes a change from perpetual motion machines or cold fusion.
Are you doing this as a purely academic exercise or do you have something against dynamic SQL?
Cheers, APC

SQL or PL/SQL : dynamically insert table name in a SQL Statement
Hi,
We have a strange requirement - we need to dynamically use the table names in a SQL Query. E.g:
select * from :table_name
The table_name will be chosen from a list. I have tried this in SQL as well as PL SQL - but, I have been unsuccessul so far.
Can you guys please help me solve this puzzle ?
I hope I have explained my quesion clearly - if not, please do let me know if some more details are necessary.
Regards,
RamkyThe following is the anonymous block that im using in a report in HTMLDB. My problem is Line Number 9. The bind variable contains the chosen table name at
the run time.
Variable "qry_stmt" contains the query to be returned, so that result set for that query will be displayed in the report.
If I hard code the table name(rather that passing it through bind variable) in the
qry_stmt string, Im getting the result sets for that query. But if I pass through
bind variable at run time, its still generating the string correctly( im printing
using a print statement at line number 14). But its returing the following report
error
report error:
ORA-01403: no data found
Please advice/help me in this.....
declare
qry_stmt varchar2(1000);
p_table varchar2(30) := 'EMP';
P_ENAME varchar2(1000);
begin
IF :p2_TABLE_NAMES IS NOT NULL THEN
qry_stmt := 'select * from '||TRIM(:P2_TABLE_NAMES); -- Line Num 9

Problem with Dynamic Table Name
Hello all,
I am having trouble using a dynamic table name. I have the following code.....
declare l_cur sys_refcursor;
l_ID int;
l_tableName varchar(30);
BEGIN
open l_cur for
select hkc.ColumnID, mapping from &HKAPPDB_Schema_Name..doctablemapping ddm

where ddm.id > 0;
LOOP
FETCH l_cur into l_ID, l_tableName;
EXIT WHEN l_cur%notfound;

UPDATE &HKAPPDB_Schema_Name..IndexedDocument
SET VerbID = (SELECT t.VerbID
FROM (SELECT DocRef, VerbID, DateUpdated
FROM &HKAPPDB_Schema_Name..l_tableName dd - this is where the dynamic table name is used
WHERE dd.VerbID is not NULL))
WHERE HKColumnID = l_ID AND VerbID is NULL;
END loop;
end;
/When I try to execute this i get an error
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
What am I doing wrong?

but thats what you get when a company throws you in at the deep end with a ridiculous time constraint to migrate a whole MSSQL DB.Migrating SQL-Server to Oracle is not a simple thing. A lot of best practices in SQL-Server are absolutely worse practices in Oracle - they are that different. Simple example is lock escalation - an issue in SQL-Server. In Oracle, the concept of a lock being escalated into a page lock simply does not exist.
In terms of getting the migration done as quickly and painlessly as possible I try to reuse all the logic as it appears in the MSSQL code - in this case it was using dynamic table names. I do not doubt that i am probably shooting myself in the foot in the long run.....As long as you do not splatter too much blood on us here.. not a problem :D
Seriously though - just keep in mind that what works in SQL-Server may not work as well (or even at all) in Oracle. So do not hesitate to refactor (from design to code to SQL) mercilessly when you think it is warranted. -

Passing dynamic table name in ADO. net destination
I am new to SSIS and I have a requirement where i need to pass dynamic table name in ADO .net destination .
My package contains an "Execute Sql task" in the control flow which computes the destination table name to be provided at run time and stores it in a variable expression
"@[User::Table_name]"(which has a scope of full package).
Now, the problem I'm facing right now is that , I am unable to use this variable expression in the ADO .Net Destination .
I need to pass this variable expression as the table name in ado .net destination.
But, whenever I use this variable in place as the table name I keep on getting this error and my package fails:-
[ADO NET Destination [403]] Error: The Table or View name is not expected. \n\t If you are quoting the table name, please use the prefix " and the suffix " of your selected data provider for quotation. \n\t If you are using multipart name,
please use at most three parts for the table name.
Although ,I am able to run my package when i am providing the existing(static) table name.So there is nothing wrong with the package.
Tried a lot of things still not working..Please help...I am having the result stored in the variable expression . I just need a way to be able to use it as the Destination table in ADO .net Destination.
I am not sure if this will work for you, but I am able to store the table name in variable and use it dynamically (via data flow task expression property ) as shown.
Thanks, hsbal
Hi Adeep,
Based on my further research, just as hsbal said, we can set a variable as ADO.NET Destination table via Expressions property in Data Flow Task.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

After run (or test) of procedure
create or replace procedure tmp_select_dymanic
( AInTable IN VARCHAR2,
ACount OUT NUMBER
) as
begin
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'BEGIN SELECT count(*) INTO :Count FROM :InTable END;'
USING ACount, AInTable;
end tmp_select_dymanic;
error message: invalid table name.
I know the table exists and contains data. I can make SELECT in SQL (not dynamic).
What a reason for error? May be privileges in database? But i make SELECT on my own table?
How can i set dynamic table name in other way?
My Oracle Version 10g.What you are asking can be done by REF_CURSOR;
look this example and try your self the rest:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_to_table_dinamic (
table1 IN VARCHAR2,
table2 IN VARCHAR2

rc sys_refcursor;
v_sql VARCHAR2 (2000);
v_deptno NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_sql :=
'SELECT DEPTNO FROM '
|| table1
|| ' WHERE ROWNUM = 1 AND DEPTNO IS NOT NULL';
OPEN rc FOR v_sql;
LOOP
FETCH rc
INTO v_deptno;
EXIT WHEN rc%NOTFOUND;
v_sql :=
'UPDATE '
|| table2
|| ' SET DEPTNO = '
|| v_deptno
|| ' WHERE DEPTNO IS NULL';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (SQLCODE || SQLERRM);
END insert_to_table_dinamic;when i give DEPT , EMP as my 2 parameters above code will set the deptno in EMP table where deptno is null;

Hi there,
Our java develop team plans to change the applications sql code in order to have some queries using table names built dynamicly.
I'd like to know if there will be any impact on performance for actual code changed.
For instante the query:
SELECT a, b from t1
will change to something like:
SELECT a, b from :var_t
where :var_t is a bind variable that can have the value t1.
(The idea is to have a way to user actual code to access actual and historic data in separate tables)
Any help or comments will be very much appreciated.
HelenaYou cannot have bind variables in place of table names, column names, and the like, so that's going to be the first problem.
Can you store the data in separate/ multiple partitions of a partitioned table?
Can you create a view over the actual and historical table and specify criteria in your query that allows Oracle to hit the appropriate table?

Dynamic table name from Arguments in cfquery /
I'm trying to use dynamic table names in a cfc but seem to
have hit upon a wall as my calling methods from flash keep hitting
my _error methods - Code attached to show what I'm trying to
achieve; if anyone can give me some pointers it would be a great
help. I've seen numerous by using the Form with the arguments but
this is coming into a gateway used by a flash component and doesn't
work no matter how much I fiddle the code.
Thanks in advanceThere was a time when I needed a dynamic query such as this.
BUT, it is very dangerous, which is why I took a few steps to make
it more secure.
1. Always use cfqueryparam and strict datatyping
2. Use listFindNoCase for known table names in the database
e.g
<cfset variables.tableNames =
"items,products,categories,blog" />
<cfif
listContainsNoCase(variables.tableNames,lCase(trim(arguments.tableName)),",")>
query here
<cfelse>
Error: Unknown table requested
</cfif>

(Urgent) Dynamic Table Name
Hi Fellows,
Can I use dynamic table name in a loop? I have a problem that I want to use variable table in a cursor for example
procedure check_rows as
cursor c1 is
select view_name
from user_views;
v_count number;
v_view_name varchar2(35);
begin

select count(*)

from i.view_name;
if v_count = 0 THEN
dbms_output.put_line ('The View '| |i.view_name| |' has no rows');
end if;
end loop;
end;
but i receive a message
i.view_name must a name of a table to which the user has access.
Can anybody solve my problem.

List Region with Dynamic Table name
Trying to build a page that is similar to Query Builder. On the left side of my page, I need to populate a list of table names from a SQL statement. Once the list is created, will need to perform some addtional actions when user clicks onthe specific row in the list.
What is the best way to create the list (based on SQL) that will allow me to be call some addtional processing when user clicks on the specific row?

create or replace view abc as
select * from abc_121
union all
select * from abc_122
union all
...For the partition view approach to correctly work (doing "partition pruning"), you need to have a constraint on the column that identifies that partition.
In other words, you cannot use the table name as an attribute to identifies its data content. Foe example, you can have tables YEAR2001_Q1 and YEAR2001_Q2. However, the year and quarter also need to be in the table itself - e.g. columns YEAR and QUARTER.
For table YEAR2001_Q1, the YEAR column needs to have a check constraint that ensures it is always 2001. And a check constraint for column QUARTER to ensure that it is always 1.
If these conditions are met, then a select from the partition view using +"where YEAR=2001 and QUARTER=2"+ will result in only table YEAR2001_Q2 to be used and not other tables like YEAR2001_Q1.
