Hi,
DECLARE

BEGIN
SELECT MESSAGE_CODE INTO P_OUT
FROM P_TABLE_NAME WHERE ROWNUM < 2;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('O/P' ||P_OUT );
END;
If i execute the above block,it shows below error.
Error report:

You need to use dynamic SQL to use a table name stored in a variable.
DECLARE
P_TABLE_NAME VARCHAR2(40) := 'EMP';
P_OUT VARCHAR2(15);
V_QUERY VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
V_QUERY := 'SELECT ENAME FROM ' || P_TABLE_NAME || ' WHERE ROWNUM < 2';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE V_QUERY INTO P_OUT;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('O/P' ||P_OUT );
END;

If you don't have any sys rights you either should
a) ask the DBA to run utlrp (preferred, as that always executes compilation in the right order)
b) do not use dba_objects but user_objects, assuming you are connected as DATALOAD
In a normal situation this shouldn't be necessary, so you should still question why you even want to do this (and are reinventing the wheel). Also the dbms_utility package has a COMPILE_SCHEMA procedure.

How to report an error from anonymous PL/SQL blocks

Hello,
The following SQL*Plus script
WHENEVER OSERROR EXIT FAILURE
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT FAILURE
DECLARE
EXIST_INDEXES BOOLEAN := FALSE;
BEGIN
FOR INDEX IN (SELECT * FROM INDEXES)
LOOP
EXIST_INDEXES := TRUE;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(INDEX.SCHEMA || '.' || INDEX.NAME);
END LOOP;
IF EXIST_INDEXES THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000,'Before proceeding, it is recommended to drop the indexes listed above');
END IF;
END;
-- Here go SQL statements that should be executed if no indexes were found
produces this output when there is an entry in table/view INDEXES:
SCHEMA_1.INDEX_1
DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20000: Before proceeding, it is recommended to drop the indexes listed above
ORA-06512: at line 13
When there are entries in table/view INDEXES, how to:
- suppress the 'DECLARE' and '*' lines from appearing in the script output;
- skip executing the SQL statements after the PL/SQL block;
- have the script return a non-zero code?
Regards,
Angel Tsankov

1 You want the rest of the code not to execute, SO all code should be in one anonymous block.
The scope of exceptions is one block.
2 If you want to suppress
- suppress the 'DECLARE' and '*' lines from appearing in the script output;you should not use raise_application_error, because this is how raise_application_error works.
- whenever you raise an exception, the return code will be non-zero.
The code you posted is really very poor, and inefficient, but as it is unclear what you are up to (you seem to want to skip executing everything when there are any indexes, if so you can just count them), it is not possible to provide working code.
If you want to skip the rest of the code, you can declare your own exceptions, and you should just raise your own exception and the block will abort.

INVALID CURSOR - Anonymous Block calling Cursor in function

I am getting an error when trying to call my cursor.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE tax_update
AS
TYPE gencur IS ref cursor;
FUNCTION tax_sf
   p_state IN bb_tax.state%type,
   p_thecursor IN OUT gencur
RETURN NUMBER;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY tax_update
AS
FUNCTION tax_sf
   p_state IN bb_tax.state%type,
   p_thecursor IN OUT gencur
RETURN NUMBER
IS
lv_taxrate NUMBER;
BEGIN
OPEN p_thecursor FOR
   SELECT taxrate
   FROM bb_tax
   WHERE state = p_state;
RETURN lv_taxrate;
END;
END;
DECLARE
tax_cur tax_update.gencur;
rec_tax bb_tax%rowtype;
BEGIN
LOOP
FETCH tax_cur INTO rec_tax;
   EXIT WHEN tax_cur%NOTFOUND;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec_tax.taxrate);
END LOOP;
END;
DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01001: invalid cursor
ORA-06512: at line 6Assignment is to create a package that will hold tax rates by state in a packaged cursor. The package will contain a function that can receive a 2 character state abbr. as an argument and find a match in the cursor and return the tax rate for tha tstate. An anonymous block will test the function with state of NC.
Can anyone assist?

You would need to call the function to open the cursor before you try to fetch from the cursor
DECLARE
tax_cur tax_update.gencur;
rec_tax bb_tax%rowtype;
l_some_number number;
BEGIN
l_some_number := tax_update.tax_sf( <<some state parameter>>, tax_cur );
LOOP
    FETCH tax_cur INTO rec_tax;
    EXIT WHEN tax_cur%NOTFOUND;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec_tax.taxrate);
END LOOP;
END;A couple of points, though.
1) Your function returns a NUMBER but that NUMBER will always be NULL. It seems rather unlikely that this is really what you want. It would seem to make more sense for the function to return the cursor rather than returning a superfluous number.
2) Your function requires a `bb_tax.state%type` parameter. But your anonymous block doesn't seem to have any concept of a state so I'm not sure what you want to pass in there.
3) Looking at the code, it seems a bit odd that your cursor returns a single column of data. If a state can have multiple rates, wouldn't you need to select some additional criteria in order to figure out which sort of tax each row represents or to otherwise differentiate different rows? If a state can only have a single tax rate, it makes no sense to open a cursor that is only going to ever return a single row.
4) There is no need to declare your own weak ref cursor type (tax_update.gencur). You can just use the Oracle built-in type SYS_REFCURSOR.

Getting value with an anonymous block using ODP

Hi all!
I have a problem I hope someone can help me with. I believe it to be a minor one. I am trying to imbed an anonymous block into my .net app and use it dynamically to get a value from the database depending on the values in a tables. Since my procedure is quite large I am displaying a small example proc for simplicity purposes. Basically I want to execute an anonymous block from my app that will return a value (not a row or rows) from the database. The code is below:
Private Sub test()
Dim cn As New OracleConnection(profileString)
Try
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
sb.Append("Declare ")
sb.Append("v_maxnum varchar2(6); ")
sb.Append("Begin ")
sb.Append("Select max(to_number(email_address_id)) into ")
sb.Append("v_maxnum from CVWH14_CDRV_TEST.EMAIL_ADDRESS_TBL; ")
sb.Append("dbms_output.put_line(v_maxnum); ")
sb.Append("Exception ")
sb.Append("When Others ")
sb.Append("Then ")
sb.Append("dbms_output.put_line('Program run errors have occurred.'); ")
sb.Append("End; ")
Dim cmd As New OracleCommand(sb.ToString, cn)
With cmd
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
Dim parm As New OracleParameter
parm.ParameterName = "v_maxnum"
parm.OracleType = OracleType.VarChar
parm.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
parm.Size = 6
cmd.Connection.Open()
Dim ret As Object = cmd.ExecuteScalar()
Dim res As String = cmd.Parameters.Item(0).Value.ToString -- **Error is occuring here**
cmd.Connection.Close()
cmd.Dispose()
End With
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error")
'End If
If cn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
cn.Close()
End If
End Try
End Sub
The exception error reads "Invalid Index 0 for this OracleParameterCollection with Count=0."
If I can figure out how to get a parameter value from the database via the anonymous block, I can apply the logic to the real application. Any help or direction I could receive would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this post!

Thank you for responding. The code that I posted was just one of many ways I have tried. I retried the proc making just 2 changes:
Private Sub test()
Dim cn As New OracleConnection(profileString)
Try
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
sb.Append("Declare ")
sb.Append("v_maxnum varchar2(6); ")
sb.Append("Begin ")
sb.Append("Select max(to_number(email_address_id)) into ")
sb.Append("v_maxnum from CVWH14_CDRV_TEST.EMAIL_ADDRESS_TBL; ")
sb.Append("dbms_output.put_line(:v_maxnum); ") -- !Changed this to a bind variable!
sb.Append("Exception ")
sb.Append("When Others ")
sb.Append("Then ")
sb.Append("dbms_output.put_line('Program run errors have occurred.'); ")
sb.Append("End; ")
Dim cmd As New OracleCommand(sb.ToString, cn)
With cmd
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
Dim parm As New OracleParameter
parm.ParameterName = ":v_maxnum" -- !Changed this to a bind variable!
parm.OracleType = OracleType.VarChar
parm.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
parm.Size = 6
cmd.Connection.Open()
Dim ret As Object = cmd.ExecuteScalar() -- !The error is now occuring here!
Dim res As String = cmd.Parameters.Item(0).Value.ToString
cmd.Connection.Close()
cmd.Dispose()
End With
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error")
If cn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
cn.Close()
End If
End Try
End Sub
I am now getting the error message "Not all variables bound". Any more help or direction that you could throw my way would be greatly appreciated.

VARRY error in PLSQL BLOCK

Hi ALL,
I trying to write plsql anonymous block to return the name of all the employees who belongs to a specific department .
I am writing below script for this and getting the error where as the same logic if i use only in a function instead of creating it
within a procedure , i am not getting any error .. Please help me to fix this issue .
Script :
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
v_te varchar2(20);
TYPE EMPARRAY is VARRAY(20) OF VARCHAR2(30);
FUNCTION getEmpArray (p_no IN NUMBER)
RETURN EMPARRAY
AS
l_data EmpArray := EmpArray();
CURSOR c_emp
IS
SELECT ename FROM scott.EMP
where deptno=p_no;
BEGIN
FOR emp_rec IN c_emp LOOP
l_data.extend;
l_data(l_data.count) := emp_rec.ename;
END LOOP;
END;
begin
SELECT getEmpArray (10)
INTO v_te
FROM dual;
dbms_output.put_line(v_te);
end;

If this is working with a function without putting it in any anonymous block ....then is this not working in a anonymous block .
Like this :
RETURN SUBSTR(l_data,7);
SELECT getEmpArray FROM dual;
It looks like you are missing too many concepts of PL/SQL. I suggest you to start reading the documentation before practicing and memorizing wrong ways to approach things like VARRAY and collections.
What exactly do you expect Oracle to retrieve from SUBSTR(VARRAY_variable, 7)? Substr of a string isn't same as substr of VARRAY. It is completely incorrect.
The select statement does not work because the function expects a parameter.
This is an example I tested at my database, becauseot have scott and other databases installed
create table test_table (col number);
insert into test_table
select level from dual connect by level <= 5;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE emparray is VARRAY(20) OF VARCHAR2(30);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getEmpArray (p_no IN NUMBER default 0)
RETURN EMPARRAY
AS
l_data emparray := emparray();
CURSOR c_emp IS SELECT col FROM test_table;
BEGIN
FOR emp_rec IN c_emp LOOP
l_data.extend;
l_data(l_data.count) := emp_rec.col;
end loop;
return l_data;
--RETURN SUBSTR(l_data,7);
END;
select getemparray(1) from dual;
GETEMPARRAY(1)

Handling loop exception in an anonymous block

hI ,
I have a an anonymous block
declare
cursor
local variables
begin
open cursor
some statements
loop
some statement ;
some othet statement;
select something from sometablein local variable where some field = cursor.value ;
some more statements
end loop
some more statements
exception
when whatever
then whatever
end;
Now my select statement may give a NO_DATA_FOUND error which i want to catch and ignore .
Pls tell me how to do it.

So that mean you can have multiple exception blocks
in a pl/sql script ?You can have one exception handler per execution block.
Execution blocks can be nested inside other execution blocks.
Handling the error within one exception handler causes execution to return out to the execution of the parent block.
Raising an error within one exception handler causes the execution to go straight to the exception handler of the parent block.
e.g.
-- execution block 1
BEGIN
-- execution block 2
DECLARE
    myvar number;
BEGIN
    SELECT mynumber INTO myvar FROM mytable;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
      NULL; -- handle error and return execution to block 1
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      RAISE; -- raise any other errors to block 1 exception handler
END; -- block 2
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Select took place successfully or no data was found');
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('An error occurred either in block1 or in block 2 (except for NO_DATA_FOUND in block2)');
END;

Calling a function which has a CLOB parameter via an anonymous block.

OK,
we are moving a lot of exports currently done by Crystal to just be done by stored procs.
So we have a load of existing, some extremely length SQL statements used for these exports.
IN the exports, we have meaningful column headings, so we have a 'lookup' file where all the column names are listed with the desired column name text listed against it.
So - to make our lives easier(i thought) , I have written a Oracle function to extract al;l of the column names as a list (see below).
It works fine except for when I am trying to pass in a SQL treatment that is longer than 4000 character.
What I want to be able to do is simply have an anonymous block that callls my function, I will be running this via SQL explorer.
Something like......
DECLARE
theSQL CLOB;
BEGFIN
theSQL := 'SELECT * FROM ORDERS WHERE 1=0';
SELECT GET_COLUNS_AS_LIST( theSQL, 0 ) FROM DUAL;
END;
However, when I run this I get the error................
PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
If I hard code the SQL like this, SELECT GET_COLUNS_AS_LIST( 'SELECT * FROM ORDERS WHERE 1=0', 0 ) FROM DUAL; all is well.
Also, I am going to need to be able to pass in SQL ststement longer that 4000 characters as weel so please bear that in mind.
I am not an Oracle guy, so I guess I am missing something fundamental - Please enlighten me with regards to this.
Any help extremely appreciated.

So I have ended up with this.
When I next get some time, I'd like to be able to strip out the table and simply output the results to an SQL Developer script window without having to go through the table.
Now this works - but if you see that I am doing something wrong - please point it out.

How come the item value does not come thru via PL/SQL anonymous block?

Hi,
It's a Form with 3 tables -
1) ClinicianProfileTb (with about 40 columns, insert/update via DML),
2) PeopleTb (with about 7 columns, insert/update via PL/SQL anonymous block) and
3) ClinicianPracticeTb (with about 10 columns, insert/update via PL/SQL anonymous block) for after-submit-processes.
So I have several After-Submit-Processes. For some reason, it appears that PeopleId which is supposed to come thru via the 2nd After-Submit-Process (ie: Insert/Update PeopleTb) does not do the way it's supposed to. And when I press "Create" button at the bottom, I got the following error msg:
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("TEST_0712"."CLINICIANPRACTICETB"."PEOPLEID")
I tried the "debug" mode (via edit page link), but to no avail. (I'm newbie, trying to learn and deliver at the same time :)).
I uploaded the app to apex.oracle.com, if someone could kindly take a look and let me know what goes wrong, it'd be greatly appreciated.
workspace: test_0712
app: 43408 - TEST
user: demo
pswd: demoPswd
Page#21 -> look at the After-Submit-Processes -> in "Insert/Update PeopleTb" it appears that PeopeId does not come thru; thus it cannot be updated to ClinicianProfileTb.PeopleId (allows null) -> and thus cannot be inserted into ClincianPracticeTb.PeopleId (which does NOT allow null). Basically my logic is that in order to create ANY row in ClinicianPracticeTb, BOTH PracticeId AND PeopleId must be present.
Acutally I should have used the PeopeTb as DML (as the driving table) to enforce that PeopleId must be present in order to insert ClinicianProfileTb and ClinicianPracticeTb, but it'd be lots of codes to write to insert/update in ClinicianProfileTb (40 columns).
In addition, does ApEx consider EVERY SINGLE after-submit-process are in ONE transaction for commit/rollback? It appears that it treats all PL/SQL anonymous blocks are in ONE transaction, while Automatic Row Processing (DML) is commited/rolled back on its own?
Thanks much,
Helen

All blocks that do not commit in one of the ways I detailed (and which do not explicitly commit using a commit statement) are part of the transaction started with > the first DML statement issued in any of the page processes and continuing until a commit is issued.Say, there are the following processes in the After-Submit-Processes:
1. Process1 -> Automatic Row Processing (DML)
2. Process2 -> PL/SQL anonymous block
3. Process3 -> PL/SQL anonymous block
Based on what you describe, in the event that if there is no explicit "commit" issued in any of these processes, then an implicit "commit" will be issued at the end of Process3?
Thanks, Scott.

Anonymous Block Troubles

Hey everyone. I'm fairly new to the SQL world and this is my first time posting on any forum for help with coding. I have an assignment and I'm supposed to construct an anonymous block. I am using sqldeveloper and I am trying to run the following:
--declare+
begin
if sysdate between to_date('05:00:00 PM', 'HH:MI:SS PM') and to_date('09:00:00 AM', 'HH:MI:SS AM') then
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Can only be used during normal office hours of 9-5.');
end if;
end;
When I run the entire script, there are no errors. However, I can't seem to get any output. Could someone perhaps give me some direction on what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers for any help.

Well that explains a whole lot. Is there some way to actually have it so that sysdate only concerns itself with time?No, in Oracle a DATE type always contains a date and time to the nearest second.
However, you can use to_char and extract what you need:
SQL> select sysdate, to_char(sysdate,'HH24:MI:SS') from dual;
SYSDATE TO_CHAR(
27-MAR-2009 20:42:08 20:42:08
SQL> select sysdate, to_char(sysdate,'HH24') from dual;
SYSDATE TO
27-MAR-2009 20:42:40 20The first one extracts the entire time portion, the second only extracts the hours.

Anonymous Block with Variable and SELECT

Hi Guys,
I am struggling to connect the material I am learning. I read about anonymous blocks and variables so I want to write a
nice and neat select with all the fancy stuff (variables, exceptions) to get it right and to it as I read in the book.
DECLARE
MYSTRING VARCHAR(10);
MYSTIRNG := 'X';
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM DUAL WHERE DUMMY = MYSTRING
END;
but....this causes one error after the other. Am I getting the concept wrong here or is it a syntax error?

cant I just get the result without using variable to store the result in the first place???Perhaps you're better off using a REF CURSOR (a.k.a. cursor variable).
That way you'll pass a resultset to the caller and you don't need any variables to select into.
You can read about them here:

Select after anonymous blocks no INTO allowed

hi
I need to run an EXECUTE IMMEDIATE command to create a SEQUENCE in oracle sql 10g. I can only call EXECUTE IMMEDIATE between a BEGIN and a END; thus creating
an anonymous block
after the EXECUTE I need to do a select
the problem is I get an error no matter what I have after the END;
I cannot put the SELECT in the anonymous block because then I need to use INTO and I don't want to use INTO I just have to da a select
can this be done in any way in oracle 10g(I am using the web interface) ?
this is very frustrating for me as in mysql and ms sql this is sooooo simple and in oracle it looks impossible
thank you in advance

so this cannot be done with oracle?
the selects will return multiple rows what should I do with those rows
I want them to appear on the screen when I run the script with the web interfaceSo you do want to actually capture the data and do something with it.
If you are just running an SQL script through something like SQL*Plus you can just select the data and it will appear on the screen, but if you are doing it within PL/SQL code then you have to capture that data and output it via the appropriate means. Remember that PL/SQL is a process that is running on the database server so it doesn't have an interface to display data on for the user.
You could select the data into an array structure (bulk collect), or use a select loop and then output it using something like DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE, assuming that your interface is going to read the DBMS_OUTPUT buffer and display the data.
You haven't provided enough information about what you are really doing or the environment you are trying to run it through, for us to be able to give much more advice.
As for whether it can be done with Oracle... yes it can, if you understand the concepts correctly. You can't just select data within PL/SQL and expect it to be displayed on your screen; as I said, the PL/SQL process on the database server knows nothing about your screen.
