How to fetch less number of columns from a ref cursor
I have a ref cursor which has 10 columns. After "OPEN"ing the ref cursor I want to "FETCH" only 3 columns. When I try that I am getting error. How to achieve that?
Regards.
Shantanu.
Supposing your first 3 columns are "stable" in name and type for any SQL statement you use, you can do something like:
SQL> create or replace procedure stable (sql_s in varchar2)
2 is
3 empno emp.empno%type;
4 ename emp.ename%type;
5 a sys_refcursor;
6 begin
7 open a for 'select empno, ename from (' || sql_s ||')';
8 fetch a into empno, ename;
9 while(a%found) loop
10 dbms_output.put_line(ename || '/' || empno);
11 fetch a into empno, ename;
12 end loop;
13 close a;
14 end;
15 /
 
Procedure created.
 
SQL> set serveroutput on;
SQL> exec stable('select * from emp');

How to Map N number of columns from input to output schemas at a time?
Hi,
I am new to BODI. In my project we are using DAT files, which contains more than 100 columns, as Source. At the Data Flow Level, in Query Transformation we are manually mapping columns from INPUT Schema to OUTPUT Schema one by one.
Is there any way to MAP all the columns at a time from INPUT schema to OUTPUT schema.
Hope I am clear with my question.
Thanks for your support.
SudhakarHi,
Thanks for your answer.It's really helpul.
But in my case, Source Filed names and Target Field names are different. As we know, OUTPUT column names should be same as Target Field names.
I am just wondering is there any option to MAP columns between INPUT schema and OUTPUT Schema at a time, like Informatica.
In Informatica you can MAP all the columns at a time between any 2 Transformation by using their port order, even though the Filed names are different .
Do we have any option like this in BODI?

How can I iterate over the columns of a REF CURSOR?
I have the following situation:
DECLARE
text VARCHAR2 (100) := '';
TYPE gen_cursor is ref cursor;
c_gen gen_cursor;
CURSOR c_tmp
IS
SELECT *
FROM CROSS_TBL
ORDER BY sn;
BEGIN
FOR tmp IN c_tmp
LOOP
text := 'select * from ' || tmp.table_name || ' where seqnum = ' || tmp.sn;
OPEN c_gen FOR text;
-- here I want to iterate over the columns of c_gen
-- c_gen will have different number of columns every time,
-- because we select from a different table
-- I have more than 500 tables, so I cannot define strong REF CURSOR types!
-- I need something like
l := c_gen.columns.length;
for c in c_gen.columns[1]..c_gen.columns[l]
LOOP
-- do something with the column value
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
END;As you can see from the comments in the code, I couln'd find any examples on the internet with weak REF CURSORS and selecting from many tables.
What I found was:
CREATE PACKAGE admin_data AS
TYPE gencurtyp IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE open_cv (generic_cv IN OUT gencurtyp, choice INT);
END admin_data;
CREATE PACKAGE BODY admin_data AS
PROCEDURE open_cv (generic_cv IN OUT gencurtyp, choice INT) IS
BEGIN
IF choice = 1 THEN
OPEN generic_cv FOR SELECT * FROM employees;
ELSIF choice = 2 THEN
OPEN generic_cv FOR SELECT * FROM departments;
ELSIF choice = 3 THEN
OPEN generic_cv FOR SELECT * FROM jobs;
END IF;
END;
END admin_data;
/But they have only 3 tables here and I have like 500. What can I do here?
Thanks in advance for any help!The issue here is that you don't know your columns at design time (which is generally considered bad design practice anyway).
In 10g or before, you would have to use the DBMS_SQL package to be able to iterate over each of the columns that are parsed from the query... e.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE run_query(p_sql IN VARCHAR2) IS
v_v_val VARCHAR2(4000);
v_n_val NUMBER;
v_d_val DATE;
v_ret NUMBER;
c NUMBER;
d NUMBER;
col_cnt INTEGER;
f BOOLEAN;
rec_tab DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB;
col_num NUMBER;
v_rowcount NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
-- create a cursor
c := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
-- parse the SQL statement into the cursor
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(c, p_sql, DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
-- execute the cursor
d := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(c);
-- Describe the columns returned by the SQL statement
DBMS_SQL.DESCRIBE_COLUMNS(c, col_cnt, rec_tab);
-- Bind local return variables to the various columns based on their types
FOR j in 1..col_cnt
LOOP
CASE rec_tab(j).col_type
WHEN 1 THEN DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(c,j,v_v_val,2000); -- Varchar2
WHEN 2 THEN DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(c,j,v_n_val); -- Number
WHEN 12 THEN DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(c,j,v_d_val); -- Date
ELSE
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(c,j,v_v_val,2000); -- Any other type return as varchar2
END CASE;
END LOOP;
-- Display what columns are being returned...
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('-- Columns --');
FOR j in 1..col_cnt
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec_tab(j).col_name||' - '||case rec_tab(j).col_type when 1 then 'VARCHAR2'
when 2 then 'NUMBER'
when 12 then 'DATE'
else 'Other' end);
END LOOP;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('-------------');
-- This part outputs the DATA
LOOP
-- Fetch a row of data through the cursor
v_ret := DBMS_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(c);
-- Exit when no more rows
EXIT WHEN v_ret = 0;
v_rowcount := v_rowcount + 1;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Row: '||v_rowcount);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('--------------');
-- Fetch the value of each column from the row
FOR j in 1..col_cnt
LOOP
-- Fetch each column into the correct data type based on the description of the column
CASE rec_tab(j).col_type
WHEN 1 THEN DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(c,j,v_v_val);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec_tab(j).col_name||' : '||v_v_val);
WHEN 2 THEN DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(c,j,v_n_val);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec_tab(j).col_name||' : '||v_n_val);
WHEN 12 THEN DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(c,j,v_d_val);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec_tab(j).col_name||' : '||to_char(v_d_val,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
ELSE
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(c,j,v_v_val);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec_tab(j).col_name||' : '||v_v_val);
END CASE;
END LOOP;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('--------------');
END LOOP;
-- Close the cursor now we have finished with it

How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?
I generated the file in Robohelp HTML 9.
As far as I know it's used when you've combined more than one source into the final help file. It is possible (though I don't remember doing it) that I did that once a couple of years ago but now I'm only using one source - the project that's generating the .chm.
Can anyone tell me how I can remove it?

Are the numbers in ASCII? Use the Spreadsheet String to Array function. Wire in a space constant to the delimiter and a 1D array of doubles to the array type. You can then use Index Array to get the value you want.

How can I edit the SamAccountName column from the list or be able to edit it?
Hello,
In my view for a SharePoint list, I see three columns for SamAccountName. This list is for listing staff as a directory, so there are phone numbers, names, emails addresses, division, department and such. The SamAccountName
column for some people has incorrect username or is blank. When I edit a record in the list, the SamAccountName column is not available to edit.

How to divide resultset of a query in different ref cursors in a package
Hi Oracle Gurus,
I need to create a package which counts the no of rows returned by a select query on multiple tables and according to the returned rowcount inputs the resultset in a ref cursor. Procedure will be called by a .NET program and output param refcursor will be assigned to a data reader which will redirect all the data to an Excel file.
All the above is done. Issue is due to Excel's limit of 64000 rows, if data returned by query is greater than 64K it wont be fit in 1 Excel sheet. So, in order to overcome this limit I need to do some looping in Oracle package which keeps on storing the query results (rows<64K) in different ref cursors so that these refcursors as OUT params can be redirected to separate Excel sheets in C# program.
NOTE : Earlier on I created 2 procedures in the package to fetch rows<64K and another one to fetch rows between 64K and rowcount of the query. My program was calling 2 different procedures to redirect data into 2 diff Excel sheets.
But this fails when query resultset is even greater than 128000 or more and demands 3-4 or even more Excel sheets to be created.
Please help.
Any idea how to do looping in Oracle to accomplish this?> So, in order to overcome this limit I need to do some looping in Oracle package which keeps on
storing the query results (rows<64K) in different ref cursors so that these refcursors as OUT params

Huh?
That is saying that "I need to change this road and build it straight through that lake as the road has a curve here".
It surely is a LOT easier to leave the road as is and simply turn the darn steering wheel in the car?
Have the .Net data reader keep a row count of rows read from the ref cursor - and when it reached a pre-set max, have the reader do a "control break"[1] and change to a new worksheet as the destination for writing the rows to.
[1] Google the term if you do not understand this basic concept that was among the very basic program control structures taught back in the 80's.. while I foam at the mouth how today's "wonder kids" turned programmers, that grew up with computers, do not even comprehend the most basic programming logic designs... -
How to fetch PO item delivery address from ME23n
Dear Experts,
From ME23n, I have to fetch the delivery address for the po items ( at item level). This is mentioned in the 'Delivery Address' tab at item level details.
I think this is the plant address, but if the user goes to ME22n and deliberately changes the address, I have to select this modified address.
How to do this?
Thanks in advanceHi Shweta,
If Address is not changed, then extract address information as below.
Select <adrnr> from t001w where werks = <ekpo-werks>.
Select <required columns> from adrc where adrnr = <t001w-adrnr>.
If address is changed, then extract information as below.
Select <required columns> from adrc where adrnr = <ekpo-adrnr>.
Column adrnr in EKPO will be blank if no changes has been made to the address, and if address is changed this column will have the value of new address number

How to access variable number of columns using ref cursor !
Hi,
I am trying to get variable number of columns using ref cursor.
Declare
mySzSql varchar2(2000);
Type dynSqlRC is Ref cursor;
current_cur dynSqlRC;
tbl_rec alt_42_consolidated%Rowtype;
Begin:
/* This works */
mySzSql := 'select *
from
Table1
Where
rowid = ''AAEWNEABXAAAAkxAAA''';
/* i want something like this to work, this is not working, giving missing variable name error */
mySzSql := 'select col1, col2, col3
from
Table1
Where
rowid = ''AAEWNEABXAAAAkxAAA''';
open current_cur for mySzSql;
fetch current_cur into tbl_rec;
close current_cur;
End;
I do have the list of desired columns which I am looking to fetch, so after taking that in the record type, how should i get their values. Is it possible to traverse tbl_rec declared above and if column name matches then I will store the value in the array and finally return this array.
Can somebody please tell me how to do this.
ThanksIt appears that this is a followup to How to loop through columns selected by select clause which is itself a followup to [url="
How to execute dynamic sql"]this earlier thread.
Assuming these are intended to be followup questions, can we please stick to a single thread? That makes it a lot easier to understand the situation and follow the conversation. Starting multiple threads makes it harder to follow the conversation.

How to send a number by SMS from contact list on 2...
Guys, I cracked my brains to solve how to send a number from contact list by SMS in 2630.
Maybe there's no such option at all?
Please help!!!
Message Edited by berzerk on 16-Dec-2008 09:24 PMI don't think there is such an option on a limited phone like the 2630.
On phones running S60 such as the Nseries and Eseries devices (and a few others) there is an option to copy a number from the contacts into the clipboard and you can subsequently paste it into a new message. Older S40 phones like the 2630 don't have a clipboard facility to do copy/paste actions.

How to fetch data for a struture from a cluster table
How can I fetch data for a struture, from a cluster table, based on the name of the structure?
Hi,
In order to read from Cluster DB Table use the following statement:
Syntax
IMPORT <f1> [ TO < g1 > ] <f2> [TO < g2 >] ...
FROM DATABASE <dbtab>(<ar>)
[CLIENT <cli>] ID <key>|MAJOR-ID <maid> [MINOR-ID <miid>].
This statement reads the data objects specified in the list from a cluster in the database <dbtab>.
You must declare <dbtab> using a TABLES statement. If you do not use the TO <gi> option, the
data object <fi> in the database is assigned to the data object in the program with the same
name. If you do use the option, the data object <fi> is read from the database into the field <gi>.
For <ar>, enter the two-character area ID for the cluster in the database. The name <key>
identifies the data in the database. Its maximum length depends on the length of the name field
in <dbtab>.
The CLIENT <cli> option allows you to disable the automatic client handling of a client-specific cluster database, and specify the client yourself. The addition must always come directly after the name of the database.
For Eg:
PROGRAM SAPMZTS3.
TABLES INDX.
DATA: BEGIN OF JTAB OCCURS 100,
COL1 TYPE I,
COL2 TYPE I,
END OF JTAB.
IMPORT ITAB TO JTAB FROM DATABASE INDX(HK) ID 'Table'.
WRITE: / 'AEDAT:', INDX-AEDAT,
/ 'USERA:', INDX-USERA,
/ 'PGMID:', INDX-PGMID.
SKIP.
WRITE 'JTAB:'.
LOOP AT JTAB FROM 1 TO 5.
WRITE: / JTAB-COL1, JTAB-COL2.
ENDLOOP.
