Execute immediate in pl/sql block not functioning
Hello,
I've made a short plsql block which create's a bind variable on an dynamic select. when i try this in sqplus with a dbms_output.put_line(v_temp) the correct value is displayed but within the execute immediate commando the bind variable is not filled. Here's the code:
DECLARE
v_count number(5) := 1;
v_text varchar2(200);
v_temp varchar2(200);
BEGIN
select count(*) into v_count from v_survey_questions where page_id=2;
for c1 in 1..v_count
loop
v_temp:='select text into :P2_Q'||c1||' from v_survey_questions where page_id=2 and ord='||c1||'';
execute immediate v_temp;
end loop;
END;
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Leo.
Hi Vikas,
Thanks but i've tried that. The thing is that the bind variable :P2_Q1 is dynamic generated like this:
DECLARE
v_count number(5) := 1;
v_temp varchar2(2000);
v_temp2 varchar2(200);
BEGIN
select count(*) into v_count from v_survey_questions where page_id=2;
for c1 in 1..v_count
loop
v_temp:='select text from v_survey_questions where page_id=2 and ord=1';
v_temp2:=':P2_Q'||c1;
execute immediate v_temp into v_temp2;
end loop;
END;
Hope you can help me out.
Greetings,
Leo.

Calling 'start' from a pl/sql block or function
hi all,
i want to start a script from a Procedure, but using start is invalid, so i think the command 'start' is SQL*PLUS-Command. When i run the following code:
declare
stmt varchar2(200);
begin
stmt := 'start C:\null.sql';
execute immediate stmt;
end;
i get this Error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
ORA-06512: at line 5
how can i run a script from a Procdure???
thankshi,
i know that man can use java to run external commads, but this is not a system command. its sql*plus command!??
my solution befor having the idea tu use "start sql_script" is to read the commands from the script file ( either using utl_file or java) and then executing it.
is there an other way to run sql*plus commands (like start) from a PL/SQL block? -
Execute immediate and dynamic sql
Dear all;
Just curious....Why do developers still use dynamic sql..and execute immediate, because I always thought dynamic sql were bads and the use of execute immediate as well...
or am I missing something...There are no 'bad' things and 'good' things.
There are 'correctly used' and 'incorrectly used' features.
It depends what you want to do.
One simple example: Oracle 11.2 - you write a package that fetches data from range interval partitioned table (a new partition is created automatically every day when new key values are inserted). If you use static SQL then whenever Oracle creates a new partition then your package gets invalidated and has to be compiled. If your package is heavily used (by many sessions running in parallel) then you may get this:
ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded
ORA-04061: existing state of package body "PACKAGE.XXXXX" has been invalidated
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called: "PACKAGE.XXXXX" Nice, isn't it?
You can avoid this kind of problems by simply using dynamic SQL. You break dependency with the table and your package is not invalidated when new partition is created. -
My First while loop inside PL/SQL block not working , please help
Hi ,
I am new to PL/sql and struck at PL SQL blocks , please help to solve this .
declare
v_A number constant :=10 ;
j number constant := 3 ;
BEGIN
WHILE j < v_A
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Hai');
END LOOP;
END;
please help as how to resolve this .
Thanks in advance .btw it's a useful habit to use indentation to highlight the block structure. Also it's worth deciding what your convention will be for keywords (I use uppercase, lowercase is also fine as far as I'm concerned but I've set up my editor to uppercase them) and variables, database object names etc (I use lowercase), e.g:
DECLARE
v_a CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 10;
j CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 3;
i PLS_INTEGER := j;
BEGIN
WHILE i <= v_a LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(i);
i := i +1;
END LOOP;
END;or perhapsdeclare
v_a constant pls_integer := 10;
j constant pls_integer := 3;
i pls_integer := j;
begin
while i <= v_a loop
dbms_output.put_line(i);
i := i +1;
end loop;
end;When I see "declare" and "BEGIN" in the same block of code I worry about the standard of code I'm going to see... -

Edited by: user10503747 on Sep 20, 2010 3:16 AMInstead of:
{code}
select key into v_KEY FROM try where v_value='Value' ;
{code}
perhaps you meant something like:
{code}
v_value := 'Value1';
select key into v_KEY FROM try where v_value=Value ; -- No quotes
{code}
Until you assign a vlue to a variable, like v_value, it is NULL, so your original statement was equivalent to
{code}
select KEY FROM try where NULL='Value' ;
{code}
In PL/SQL, a SELECT ... INTO statement must return exactly one row, or else you will get an error (either NO_DATA_FOUND or TOO_MANY_ROWS). This is different from SQL, where a query cn return any number of rows, including 0, without raising an error. -
Hi experts,
I'm looking at a PL/SQL like..
1> CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trg_tbl_cat_biu

2> CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_tbl_cat
AS
TYPE numarray IS TABLE OF NUMBER
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
newcat_ids numarray;
newparent_cat_ids numarray;
empty numarray;
END;
can any one give a brief wht these section is doing?
Regards,
SKPafter inserting the other trigger which i've
mentioned previousely is used for this loop:
FOR i IN 1 .. pkg_tbl_cat.newparent_cat_ids.COUNT
Not clear. I guess - whenever u perform any DML statement on that perticular table, based on the condition triggers perform some operation to store some value inside the package variable - which in some cases cannot be obtain through :New.Value . So, using this package variable u can access the data inside the trigger. Moreover, the variable which is declared inside the package are treated as global variable. U can access these value in any procedure/function in that session. Your, for loop exectly does what i've told. With the help of the trigger u store some values into the package variable named pkg_tbl_cat.newparent_cat_ids. And, it is populated with data. Now using COUNT function u can iterate that perticular function - which is completely dependant on the number of data that have stored into that package variable.

SQL Server not functional after Windows Sysprep
Hello!
I sysprep generalized a full configured Windows Server 2012 Standard copy with SQL Server 2012 configured on it but not set up using the sysprep prepare method. I only want to generalize the windows copy but have the SQL install work as previously configured.
After i boot back into the server after the generalize finishes i am unable to access the SQL server using windows authentication even after i changed the computer name and use the same user accounts as before. I have seen the sysprep prepare for imaging
documentation for syspreping an SQL instance however i already have SQL installed and i just want to migrate this install to newer hardware. Does anyone have any advice for this? Thank you.Hello Kabitokaii,
It seems that sql server is not recognizing your new computer name. Since your new name is different from the name when SQL Server has been installed, you have to change the also in sys.servers....
you can query the name by submitting the following statement: (once you´re told you can´t connect only with windows autentication, i`m assumin that you can connect with SQL Server autentication.)
SELECT * FROM SYS.SERVERS.
If the names are different (from SYS.SERVERS to current machine name), you have to change is, following the bellow steps:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2525/steps-to-change-the-server-name-for-a-sql-server-machine/
Steps to rename SQL Server
Execute the below commands for each instance on the machine.

Using Execute Immediate in PLSQL block Vs Stand alone procedure
I am facing very unusual ( atleast unusual to me ) with usage of "Execute Immediate" statement.
I have a table dynamic_sql with one column plsql_block as VARCHAR2(4000);
I have stored some PLSQL blocks ('DECLARE ..... BEGIN.... END.... ) in this column .
Now I want to execute these PLSQL blocks one after other depending on certain conditions .
In order to archive this I wrote a PLSQL block as below
DECLARE
Cursor c1 is
select plsql_block from dynamic_sql
begin
for irec in c1
loop
<<< Condition >>>
begin
execute_immediate(irec.plsql_block);
exception
when others then
raise_application_error(-20001,'error ' ||irec.plsql_block||' '||sqlerrm);
end loop ;
end ;
With above PLSQL block , "execute immediate" is executing PLSQL block successfully without any error
But When I converted above PLSQL block into standalone procedure as shown below , I am getting error .
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure test AS
Cursor c1 is
select plsql_block from dynamic_sql
begin
for irec in c1
loop
<<< Condition >>>
begin
execute_immediate(irec.plsql_block);
exception
when others then
raise_application_error(-20001,'error ' ||irec.plsql_block||' '||sqlerrm);
end loop ;
end ;
BEGIN
test;
end ;
It is showing the value of irec.plsql_block but not showing sqlerrm...
I found this is very unusual as I am able to execute "execute immediate" statement with PLSQL block but not with similar procedure .
can anybody explain me why this is happening?
Thanks in Advance
AmitHello,
It doesn't make any sense to add SQLERRM for user defined exception, unless you want to raise application error for already defined error (e.g NOT_DATA_FOUND, ..)
Check following piece of code and its output,
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE myinsert1
AS
v_count NUMBER;
v_sql VARCHAR2 (300);
BEGIN
v_sql :=
'INSERT INTO ENTITY_EMPLOYEE VALUES(0,''TIM'',''LASTNAME'',10000)';
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql;
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (SUBSTR (SQLERRM, 1, 300));
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20002, 'My Error ' || SQLERRM, TRUE);
RAISE;
END;
END;
Output._

Unable to INSERT PL/SQL record with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
Hi All,
I am selecting data from a source table and after some modification inserting into a target table. Source and target table name are available at run time. You can say only source table structure is fixed.
I have crated a pl/sql table of type source record and inserting record by record in target table using execute immediate. But I am not able to write
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE string USING pl_sql_table(index); and getting error as
PLS-00457: expressions have to be of SQL types
Please see the part of code below. Is it possible to use FORALL with dynamic sql like
FORALL pl_sql_table.FIRST .. pl_sql_table.COUNT
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE .... pl_sql_table(j); -- Like this.
Please suggest why I am not able to write record here. I also want to replace 'INSERT in a loop' with a single INSERT statement out of the loop, to upload whole pl_sql table into target table in one go.
Thanks,
Ravi

Execute Immediate in Oracle 10g
Hi , I have a small doubt regarding execute immediate.
As per my knowledge we use execute immediate for writing DDL(create,truncate,...) statements to execute in the procedure or function.
But i have seen in my organization , some of the senior people(already left organization) used to write inserts , updates , deletes also in execute immediate even there is not much dynamic logic involved.
But as per my knowledge execute immediate can be badly used by most of the hackers with SQL injection I guess!!!!!
Is there any reason that they use execute immediate instead of writing the code directly??? Or is there any advantage in writing like this.???Using execute immediate to create tables and other DDL is fundamentally undesirable, and should be avoided at all cost.
The use of execute immediate you seem to outline, should be avoided too. Apparently those seniors were unaware of the goal of PL/SQL and the disadvantage of execute immediate.
If I could vote to remove execute immediate from PL/SQL, I would be immediately in favor, especially in packages, procedures and functions,as they are stored, which means pre-compiled.

Need help with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
I have created a CHAR string in my form that contains a UPDATE statement. This statement is passed into my procedure and in the procedure, the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is supposed to run the UPDATE statement. THIS IS NOT THE CASE for some reason. NEWVALUE is record is also passed into the procedure.
this is the UPDATE_STATEMENT statement prepared by my forms application:
'UPDATE xtable SET ACTION_CODE_DESC =''a b c'',INACTIVE =''N'' WHERE ACTION_CODE = newValue.ACTION_CODE'
The CHAR values are surrounded by a pair of single quotes. The UPDATE statement starts and ends with single quotes.
In my procedure I have this statement:
PROCEDURE JKUPD_ACTION_CODE
( newValue in etmst_action_code%rowtype
,UPDATE_STATEMENT in CHAR
,perr_count out number
AS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE UPDATE_STATEMENT ;
IF SQL%NOTFOUND
THEN .......
I keep getting ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement and dont understand why this is happening.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks :)I haven't seen a version indication for this thread, but there should be 2 (different!) functions that come with Oracle that might do what you want.
If all you want to do is dynamically execute text representing a SQL command check the on-line documentation (if there is any) for dbms_sql.execute and/or dbms_utility.exec_ddl. Make sure the string passed in are syntactically correct :) -
Error in PL/SQL Block of Trigger
Hi all,
I have written a trigger whose PL/SQL block contains a simple select statment among many other statements.
Now I find that, if the select statement returns no rows the trigger does not continue its operation further and aborts there itself. And if the select statement returns some rows, then it works fine.
I tried to execute a simplified PL/SQL block of the trigger in SQL*Plus and following were the results:
declare
tempdate date;
begin
select trdt into tempdate from inv_trans;
if sql%notfound then
null;
end if;
end;
When no data is present in inv_trans table, the result was:
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at line 4
And when the table inv_trans had data, the result was:
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Why is the piece of code flashing an error when I have already given a treatment if no data is found.
Why is it taking "No Data in table" as an abnormal condition and not normal?
