Error in PL/SQL - execute immediate

Hi ,
I am getting this error when executing the procedure.Could you help me what wrong in it?
SQL >create or replace procedure delete_emp_copy (tname in varchar2) is
sql_stmt varchar2(200);
begin
sql_stmt :='delete from :1';
execute immediate sql_stmt using tname;
end;

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00903: invalid table name
ORA-06512: at "HR.DELETE_EMP_COPY", line 5
ORA-06512: at line 1
EMPLOYEES_COPY exists in my schema? what could be wrong?

You can't bind in a table name. You would have to concatenate the table name. Youd can use bind variables for values in the where clause, for example, but not for object names.
create or replace procedure delete_emp_copy (tname in varchar2) is
sql_stmt varchar2(200);
begin
sql_stmt :='delete from ' || tname;
execute immediate sql_stmt;
end;I'd recommend you to validate the table name, using a select from all_tables to check if it exists, or using the DBMS_ASSERT if your Oracle version supports it.

Hi,
Rather the opening a new process (sqlplus), a new connection (need password) etc... I would rather read and execute the file in pl/sql.

Strange Case on Security Rights and Dynamic SQL (Execute Immediate)

Hi friends, (forgive me if I write with wrong grammar and sentence, I not used English for daily)
I got a weird trouble yesterday.
I created a package (we can called it X, OK!?) which containing Execute Immediate Statement, that function to delete a table (we can called it Y).
Several days ago, it's worked, but yesterday it wasn't. Last things happened before was recreate those table, and regrant to a role which including user account that execute package X.
Error Msg shown is ORA-00942 : Table or view does not exist. After rechecked and rechecked, I found nothing that could trigger that error, I used DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE to debug and show what statement resulted and executed, I cut and paste, and it's worked. I created anonymous PL/SQL Block, and wrote it and executed it, and worked.
Finally, today, We Grant explicitly those table to user account Y, not via Role, ... and it's work. Interesting thing I think :P
And, I revoke, execute package and run. I think, there's something about Oracle he..he.. :D .
Can somebody help me and explain me the reason of that strange symptomp? and right solution? I must know it, because several days again, it's launched / install.
TIA

How to execute a statement in forms procedure like SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

Hi to all,
In a form I have created this procedure:
PROCEDURE insert_rows (
tbName IN VARCHAR2,
list_of_fields IN VARCHAR2,
origin_table IN VARCHAR2,
wCondition IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL)
IS
where_clause VARCHAR2 (2000) := ' WHERE ' || wCondition ;
table_to_fill VARCHAR2 (30);
BEGIN
-- Exist the table ?
SELECT OBJECT_NAME INTO table_to_fill FROM USER_OBJECTS
WHERE OBJECT_NAME = UPPER(origin_table) AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'TABLE' ;
IF wCondition IS NULL THEN
where_clause := NULL;
END IF ;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO ' || table_to_fill || ' SELECT ' || list_of_fields || ' FROM ' || origin_table || where_clause ;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
-- Here the Alert
END;
But, when I compile this error is displayed:
Function not supported from client side application corresponding to SQL statement EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
How can to correct this script for my form ?
I hope in Your help.
Best Regards

You have two options:
1)To create this procedure in database
2)Yo use the forms built-in FORMS_DDL instead of execute immediate , altering the one provided

Dyn sql execute immediate A plsql block returning sql%rowcount of rows inserted

I would like to get the number of rows inserted in a dynamic sql statement like following.
execute immediate
'begin insert into a(c1,c2,c3)
(select ac1,ac2,ac3 from ac where ac1=:thekey
UNION select tc1,tc2,tc3 from tc where tc1=:otherkey); end;' using in key1,in key2;
I have tried per the oracle8i dyn sql chapter in doc RETURN sql%rowcount won't compile.
also add this to statement 'returning sql%rowcount into :rowcount'
no luck.
any ideas.?
thanks.

Quick comment first - I'm not sure why you are even using dynamic SQL here. There is nothing dynamic about your statement. It is equivalent to just:
insert into a (c1, c2, c3)
select ac1, ac2, ac3
    from ac
   where ac1 = key1
UNION
select tc1, tc2, tc3
    from tc
   where tc1 = key2;Unless you are really dynamically changing a table or column name here and just didn't show it in your example, you certainly don't want the overhead of NDS for this insert in this situation.
In any case, you just need to evaluate SQL%ROWCOUNT in the next statement.
insert ...;
if sql%rowcount = 0 then
-- nothing was inserted
end if;

Thatmeans using statement cannot be a non sql type.True: You need an sql type for this:
e.g. with

When I tried to run this program I am getting below error:
ORA-01007 - variable not in select list.Please help to resolve.
You likely would not need any help in you wrote and tested your code using standard best practices.
Your code has NO exception handler and you are NOT identifying each step in the code so that the exception handler could print/log a message telling you EXACTLY which step raised the exception.,
v_step NUMBER;
-- before step 1
v_step := 1;
-- before step 2
v_step := 2;
Then in the exception handler the value of 'v_step' will tell you which step raised the exception.
The exception you posted refers to a 'select list' so examine ALL of the select lists in your code. If you do that you will see that the primary query being run is obtained from a database table and then executed using dynamic SQL
execute immediate bpm_rec.query BULK COLLECT INTO l_ENTITY_v,l_DATA_v,l_count_v;
We have no way of knowing what query is in 'bpm_rec.query' when the exception happens or what columns that query returns. For all we know the query returns 2 columns and you are trying to load 3 collections. Or maybe the query returns 8 columns and you are trying to load 3 collections.
Why don't you print out the query and execute it manually so you can see exactly what the result set looks like?
dbms_output.put_line(bpm_rec.query);
And don't even get us started on why you are using such security-prone dynamic sql to perform this processing instead of using ordinary SQL statements. Or why you are using associative arrays for the BULK COLLECT instead of nested tables.
In short your code could blow up in several places and, because you have NO logging statements, control statements or exception handlers, anyone having to troubleshoot that code would have absolutely no idea what part of it may be the problem.

Problem with alter table in execute immediate

We have PL/SQL scripts which modify the data structure, add data etc to en existing database. These scripts basically ensure that the db is compatible with what the software expects.
The reason for doing it in PL/SQL rather than SQL script is A) The scripts are launched using GUI so that they are more user friendly. sqlplus is launched as a background process which executes these scripts. All the scripts have EXIT FAILURE WHENEVER SQLERROR as first line to ensure that the control does not hang in the sqlplus background process.
Going from one version to other, we have added a few tables to the database and also modified a few tables. since (i think) DDL is not allowed in PL/SQL block, we had to resort to putting them in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE enclosures.
Now for the real question,
If I create a table using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE clause, I can immediately have insert as a next statement to insert data in this table. but, if I alter the table and add a column to the existing table, I cannot immediately add data to that column, it throws an error saying 'invalid identifier'
At code level, the following is allowed :
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE SP_TEST_TABLE
                         ID     NUMBER,
                         NAME     Varchar2(40)
INSERT INTO SP_TEST_TABLE(ID, NAME) Values(1, 'SP');
but I get error for the following :
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE SP_TEST_TWO ADD
                    ANOTHER_COLUMN     number
UPDATE     SP_TEST_TWO SET          ANOTHER_COLUMN = 1;
In this case, it says ANOTHER_COLUMN invalid identifier
Does anybody know why?
any workaround will be greatly appreciated.
--SP

Friends,
Thanks to all of you for your help. The spelling mistakes might have occurred becuase i changed the actual script to something 'short and complete' to show the problem.
I could solve the problem by having more than one PL/SQL block within my file. something like :
BEGIN
--alter table statements here
END;
BEGIN
--insert the values in column here.
END;
I am still not sure why the error is presented only on alter table statement and not for create table statement. Probably somebody with the knowledge of oracle internals will be able to throw more light on it. I am trying to get the naswers, if I get the answer, I'll surely post it here.

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE in Pro*C

I am trying to use Execute immediate as following.
strcpy (sqlstmt, "select id_tag, desc from notice where id = 2");
EXEC SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE :sqlStmt INTO :id_tag, :desc;
Pro*C is not letting me do INTO, while same thing works in PL/SQL fine.
Any Idea on how to do this, other option for me is declare a cursor and do a FETCH INTO.
Thanks in advance.

If you wanted it that way, this is one way to do it:

     int     cnt ;

     strcpy(userid.arr, "scott/tiger") ;
     userid.len = strlen(userid.arr) ;
     EXEC SQL CONNECT :userid ;
     strcpy (sqlstmt.arr, "select count(*) from emp where deptno = :deptno");
     sqlstmt.len = strlen(sqlstmt.arr) ;

Error while insert data using execute immediate in dynamic table in oracle

887684 wrote:
ORA-00904: "SUBJECT_OBJ": invalid identifier
ORA-06512: at line 7The problem is that your variable subject_obj is not in scope inside the dynamic SQL you are building. The SQL engine does not know your PL/SQL variable, so it tries to find a column named SUBJECT_OBJ in your SAM1 table.
If you need to use dynamic SQL for this, then you must bind the variable. Something like this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'insert into op_sample (select id,name,:bind_subject_obj from sam1) ' USING subject_obj;Alternatively you might figure out to use static SQL rather than dynamic SQL (if possible for your project.) In static SQL the PL/SQL engine binds the variables for you automatically.

Using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE with Create Table SQL Statement not working

Hi ,
I am all the privileges given from the SYSTEM user , but still i am not able to create a table under procedure . Please see these and advice.
create or replace procedure sp_dummy as
begin
Execute Immediate 'Create table Dummy99_99 (Dummy_Field number)';
end;
even i tried this way also
create or replace PROCEDURE clearing_Practise(p_file_id in varchar2, p_country in VARCHAR2,p_mapId in VARCHAR2)
AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS
strStatusCode VARCHAR2(6);
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create table bonus(name varchar2(50))';
commit;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('ERROR Creating Table');
END ;

Since the syntax is correct, my guess is you do not have CREATE TABLE system privilege granted directly to your account. A common scenario is that you have this privilege granted indirectly via a role, allowing you to create tables on the command line, but stored PL/SQL is stricter and requires a direct grant and therefore the procedure fails with 'insufficient privileges'.A bit like he's already been told on his first thread...
Using of Execute Immediate in Oracle PLSQL
Generally you would not create tables from stored PL/SQL. Also as you have found out, it's best not to hide exceptions with 'WHEN OTHERS THEN [some message which gives less detail than the one generated by Oracle]'.Again like he was told on the other thread.
There's just no telling some people eh! :)

Dynamic Sql Using Execute Immediate

I am trying to construct a dynamic statement that takes in a supplied column name (COL_NAME), then do an Update on the column based on a supplied username. The table myTable has 4 columns and I would like to update a column thats supplied each time.
NOT DYNAMIC
PROCEDURE UpdateUser(aauser myTable.USERNAME%Type,COL_NAME varchar2, val varchar2) AS
BEGIN
Update myTable
set userid = '002'
where username= aauser;
[b]DYNAMIC
PROCEDURE UpdateUser(aauser myTable.USERNAME%Type,COL_NAME varchar2, val varchar2) AS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'UPDATE myTable
Set ' ||COL_NAME||' = val
where myTable.username = aauser';
END UpdateUser;
However I get the following error when I execute this statement. Please help me.
Connecting to the database Local.
ORA-00904: "aaUser": invalid identifier
ORA-06512: at "ANOLD.PUB", line 1433

Can't create a sequence within a pl/sql block with execute immediate.

Hi All. I created a user and granted it the 'create sequence' privilege though a role. In a pl/sql block I try to create a sequence using 'execute immediate' but get a 1031-insufficient privileges error. If I grant create sequence directly to the user, the pl/sql block completes successfully. Can anyone explain this behavior? We're running 11.2 Enterprise Editon.
Thanks,
Mark

In a definer's rights stored procedure (the default), you only have access to privileges that have been granted directly, not via a role.
There are two basic reasons for that. First, roles can be enabled or disabled, default and non-default, password-protected, etc. so the set of roles a particular user actually has is session-specific. Oracle needs to know at compile time what privileges the owner of the procedure has. The only way to do that (without deferring the privilege check) is to ignore privileges granted through roles.
Second, since 99% of privilege management DBAs do involves granting and revoking roles, it's helpful that changing role privileges will never cause objects to be marked invalid and recompiled which can have side-effects on applications. DBAs only need to worry about causing problems on those rare cases where they are granting or revoking direct privileges to users.
You can create an invoker's rights stored procedure by adding the clause (AUTHID CURRENT_USER). That defer's the security check to run-time but allows the procedure to see privileges granted through roles in the current session. But that means that the caller of the procedure would need to have the CREATE SEQUENCE privilege through the role, not the owner of the procedure.
And just to make the point, dynamic object creation in PL/SQL is almost always a red flag that there is something problematic in your design. If you are creating sequences dynamically, that means that you'd have to refer to them dynamically throughout your code which means that your inserts would need to use dynamic SQL. That's not a particularly easy or safe way to develop code.
