How to use bind variable value for table name in select statement.

Hi everyone,
I am having tough time to use value of bind variable for table name in select statement. I tried &p37_table_name. ,
:p37_table_name or v('p37_table_name) but none worked.
Following is the sql for interactive report:
select * from v('p37_table_name') where key_loc = :P37_KEY_LOC and
to_char(inspection_dte,'mm/dd/yyyy') = :P37_INSP_DT AND :p37_column_name is not null ;
I am setting value of p37_table_name in previous page which is atm_state_day_insp.
Following is error msg:
"Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended) "
Any help would be higly appreciated.

Interestingly enough I always had the same impression that you had to use a function to do this but found out from someone else that all you need to do is change the radio button from Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query to Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only). Apex will substitute your bind variable for you at run-time (something you can't normally do in pl/sql without using dynamic sql)

How to use bind variable value of one VO as initial value for other VO row?

JDeveloper 10.1.3.3, ADF Faces, ADF BC
Hi,
I have two View Objects: one read only with several bound variables and another editable entity based. Correspondingly there are two ADF Faces pages: first contains search form based on the read-only VO and second create form based on the editable VO. The search form has several hidden fields for some of bound variables because they aren't edited directly by user. These fields are updated with PPR when user selects other search criteria from LOV.
There is a command button in the first page that navigates to the second form. Is there any way to transfer values of bound variables from the first VO to the second VO as initial values of the new row?
I tried to set custom controller for the second page and retrieve search criteria values from request parameter map but values from hidden fields are missing. I think because that these fields are updated by PPR. Of course I can add custom action method to the navigation button and in the method put these values to request parameter map but I hope there is better solution.
Thanks,
Marius

To summarize, given a bind variable value for one VO, on creating a row in a second VO, for 1 of the attributes of the second VO, you want to use the first VO's bind variable value. Correct?
A potential solution ADF BC driven:
1) Ensure you have an AppModuleImpl for your AM
2) Ensure you have a ViewImpl for your 1st VO (where the bind variable will exist) - lets refer to that VO as "Alpha"
3) Ensure you have a ViewRowImpl for your 2nd VO (the one you want to default the value in) - lets refer to that VO as "Beta"
4) For your first VO "Alpha" create the bind variable (say pValue)
5) In your second VO "Beta" ViewRomImpl add following code:
@Override
protected void create(AttributeList attributeList) {
super.create(attributeList);
AppModuleImpl am = (AppModuleImpl)this.getApplicationModule();
String someValue = am.getAlphaView1().getpValue();
setSecondVOAttr(someValue); // change this code to whatever your setter is for the field you want to initialize.
}Hope this helps. Let us know how you go.

CM.

How to use a variable as a table name in PL/SQL?

Hello all.
I was given one day to wrote a piece of PL/SQL code to do a query. That is,
First select two columns from one table and use them to build another table's name, then
     join the two tables. I'm not sure if variables can be used in the select list, if possible,
     how to reference them?
-- My code is
DECLARE
     tablename varchar2(40);
     CURSOR c1 IS
select a.sourcesystemcode, a.adminorganizationno from cdb1.organization_mapping a
where exists( select 1 from cdb1.organization_mapping b where
a.cdborganizationno = b.cdborganizationno and a.adminorganizationno != b.adminorganizationno)
order by a.cdborganizationno,a.adminorganizationno;
     v_src_sys_cod cdb1.organization_mapping.sourcesystemcode%TYPE;
     v_adm_org_no cdb1.organization_mapping.adminorganizationno%TYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN c1;
LOOP
FETCH c1 INTO v_src_sys_cod, v_adm_org_no;
EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
tablename := 'ODS1.SRC_' || v_src_sys_cod || v_adm_org_no || 'ACTORG_CURR';
select c.cdborganizationno, c.sourcesystemcode, c.adminorganizationno, c.sourceorganizationno, d.ibkcde, d.orgnam
from cdb1.organization_mapping c inner join tablename d on c.sourceorganizationno = d.orgidt;
END LOOP;
CLOSE c1;
END;
The error message says "... the table or view does not exist... line 18, column 66..."
It says the variable "tablename" wasn't build or build incorrectly.
Please give the solution.

If the TABLEs being queried are already known, and it is just a matter of which one to query, perhaps you can CREATE a VIEW that uses all the TABLEs with a UNION ALL, and include an identifier COLUMN.
CREATE VIEW SRC_ALL_ACTORG_CURR
AS
SELECT 'aa' Name, ibkcde, orgnam FROM SRC_aa_ACTORG_CURR UNION ALL
SELECT 'bb' Name, ibkcde, orgnam FROM SRC_bb_ACTORG_CURR UNION ALL
SELECT 'cc' Name, ibkcde, orgnam FROM SRC_cc_ACTORG_CURR UNION ALL
SELECT 'dd' Name, ibkcde, orgnam FROM SRC_dd_ACTORG_CURR UNION ALL
SELECT 'ee' Name, ibkcde, orgnam FROM SRC_ee_ACTORG_CURR;
Then, in you query:
select c.cdborganizationno, c.sourcesystemcode, c.adminorganizationno, c.sourceorganizationno, d.ibkcde, d.orgnam
from cdb1.organization_mapping c inner join SRC_ALL_ACTORG_CURR d on c.sourceorganizationno = d.orgidt and d.Name = v_src_sys_cod || v_adm_org_no;

How to insert variable for table name in Select statement ?

I am creating a stored procedure which will take two table names as IN parameters. Within the procedures I would like to use the parameters in the following manner;
     SELECT count(*)
     INTO v_target_cnt
     FROM TargetTable;
TargetTable is one of the parameters passed in. When I do this however it does not recognize the parameter. I have tried assigning the parameter to a local variable and using the variable, with not luck.
Any help....thanks

Null,
What you are describing is called a LEXICAL parameter, which is allowed (preceded by an ampersand) in sql but not in pl/sql because it would not be possible to compile it. That is why you need to use Andrew's suggestion to make the sql dynamic. In older versions you would need to use DBMS_SQL which is horrible and now thankfully redundant.

You cannot avoid hard parsing - as the 1st time a SQL statement (like the SELECT or DELETE statements in your code) is encountered, it does not reside in the server's Shared Pool, and needs to be added into the pool via a hard parse.
Bind variables does not prevent hard parsing. Hard parsing happens when the SQL statement (with or without bind variables) is a brand new statement encountered by the server.
Bind variables enables the same SQL cursor to be reused, by simply changing the bind variable value.
Not using bind variables means that each SQL statement is unique and not shareable - as the value is hardcoded into the statement and cannot be changed via a bind value. This typically means LOTS of different SQL statements (where the only difference is the changed value in the statement) are created - with each statement being a new statement not seen before in the Shared Pool and needing to be hard parsed.
One does not design one's code not to be hard parsed. There ALWAYS will be a hard parse in order to get a SQL statement into the Shared Pool. One designs one's code to REUSE cursors in the Shared Pool.

Do not use bind variable notations for p_session_id argument...

Hi there,
... in apex_custom_auth.login the Apex doc says. Does anyone know why not?
LOGIN Procedure
Also referred to as the "Login API," this procedure performs authentication and session registration.
p_session_id Current Oracle Application Express session ID.
Note: Do not use bind variable notations for p_session_id argument.Thanks
Luis

I tend to avoid assigning values to bind variables like that - but it may be due to the nature of much of my code residing in PL/SQL packages.
And due to the strange encounters I have had with this, like your linked discussions, I've tended towards using apex_util instead.

How to use bind variables in desc flexfields in OA pages?

Use case: In EBS 11i we have a DFF on po_vendors and one of the segment has a table validated value set that is referencing a forms variable i.e :VENDORS.VENDOR_ID. Now after upgrading to R12 this won't work as the vendor pages moved to OA framework. Is there any way to reference the vendor_id column in OA framework?

Why are you using dynamic SQL statements? Why not just use something like this instead in your PL/SQL. I also replaced the leading // in your Xpath with just / since you start from the root node.
select *
INTO l_dummy
from xmltable(XMLNAMESPACES('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' AS "XSD", default 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/'),
                '/definitions/types/XSD:schema/XSD:element'
                passing xmltype(l_xml)
                columns
                ab xmltype path '.' ) t;Also, the above returns two rows, which I suspect is not what you want. Here is the pure SQL version for you to debug.

How to use the variable value "ALL"

Hello all,
I'm trying to use the value "all" for a selection variable in a Web Interface so that to have no restrictions for that specific variable and that all the rows are shown on the interface.
Unfortunately it does not seem to be working because when I select the value "all" the system seems to go back to the latest rows saved under a specific value for that variable and does not show all the rows saved under any variable's value.
Anyone knows how to make this work? One option is to remove the variable from the web interface altogether, but that's my last option.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Francesco

Hi Francesco,
why is leaving out the variable your last option? If you want to select "all" then you don´t need a variable.

How to use bind variable in this select statement

Hi,
I have created this procedure where table name and fieldname is variable as they vary, therefore i passed them as parameter. This procedure will trim leading (.) if first five char is '.THE''. The procedure performs the required task. I want to make select statement with bind variable is there any possibility to use a bind variable in this select statement.
the procedure is given below:
create or replace procedure test(tablename in varchar2, fieldname IN varchar2)
authid current_user
is
type poicurtype is ref cursor;
poi_cur poicurtype;
sqlst varchar2(250);
THEVALUE NUMBER;
begin
     sqlst:='SELECT EMPNO FROM '||TABLENAME||' WHERE SUBSTR('||FIELDNAME||',1,5)=''.THE ''';
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLST);
OPEN POI_CUR FOR SQLST ;
LOOP
     FETCH POI_CUR INTO THEVALUE;
          EXIT WHEN POI_CUR%NOTFOUND;
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(THEVALUE);
          SQLST:='UPDATE '||TABLENAME|| ' SET '||FIELDNAME||'=LTRIM('||FIELDNAME||',''.'')';
          SQLST:=SQLST|| ' WHERE EMPNO=:X';
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLST);
               EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQLST USING THEVALUE;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END TEST;
Best Regards,

So you want to amend each row individually? Is there some reason you're trying to make this procedure run as slow as possible?
create or replace procedure test (tablename in varchar2, fieldname in varchar2)
authid current_user
is
   sqlst      varchar2 (250);
   thevalue   number := 1234;
begin
   sqlst := 'update ' || tablename || ' set ' || fieldname || '= ltrim(' || fieldname || ',''.'') where substr(' || fieldname
      || ',1,5) = ''.THE ''';
   dbms_output.put_line (sqlst);
   execute immediate sqlst;
end test;will update every row that satisfies the criteria in a single statement. If there are 10 rows that start with '.THE ' then it will update 10 rows.

You dont need Dynamic SQL. Your Table and Column Name are static in that query. Just use Static SQL
SELECT SUMTOTAL
INTO lSumTotal
FROM tab1
WHERE BATCHNO = gBatchNo
   AND ATM_ID = gAtm_id
   AND LOAD_ID = gLoadId
   AND STEP_CODE = 'C_3';
