Instr inside of block pl/sql

Hi Friends,
I Have this code :
select
from
P_EPS_anl_IFI
where
instr(':'||nvl(:P39_PRACA,:V_PRACA)||':',':'||PRACA||':') > 0
AND instr(':'||:P39_TECNO||':',':'||TECN||':') > 0
AND instr(':'||:P39_AN_EPS||':',':'||EPS||':') > 0
AND PERIODO = :P39_PERIODO
AND TP_NEGOCIO = :P39_TP_NEGOCIO And This Code is Running correctly , But , This is a part of report and I have some conditional option and I have to put this code os Pl/sql Cod and the sql instruction inside os Variable like below :
DECLARE
V_SQL VARCHAR2(30000);
BEGIN
V_SQL :=
'SELECT
FROM
P_EPS_ANL_IFI
WHERE
PERIODO = ''&P39_PERIODO.''';
return v_sql ;
END ;
But this part
instr(':'||nvl(:P39_PRACA,:V_PRACA)||':',':'||PRACA||':') > 0
AND instr(':'||:P39_TECNO||':',':'||TECN||':') > 0
AND instr(':'||:P39_AN_EPS||':',':'||EPS||':') > 0 I Could not to do ... Can you Help me ?

Sending an email from inside a web pl/sql procedure

Hi,
I need to send an email to a predefined address say "[email protected]",
and use a prefedined mail server "server11" from inside a web pl/sql procedure.
I want this to be oblivious to the user, so no forms etc...
Is there a way to do this using mailto:// without something popping up?
Something like this would be first class:
sendmail( to, from, subject, text, mailserver )
Thanks in advance,
Barry

Pl/sql block returning sql query.

Hello,
I am using oracle 10g apex 3.2 version.
I am using the following return statement inside my report which is pl/sql block returning sql query.
declare
pid varchar2(100);
begin
return 'select patient_id_code from t_files_data_exp where patient_id_code not in pid';
end;
How am i suppose to mention the pid inside the return stmt i mean with any quotes or anything? because the above return stmt gives error
"1 error has occurred
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. The query can not be parsed, the cursor is not yet open or a function returning a SQL query returned without a value."
Thanks

Hello,
I did exactly the way u told
declare
pid varchar2(100) := '(61092,61093)';
begin
return 'select patient_id_code from t_files_data_exp where patient_id_code not in ' || pid;
end;
patient_id_code is varchar2(100) only in table.
For this i am getting "invalid number error".
Thanks

Blocking on SQL server

From last few days we are seeing blocking on SQL SERVER where select is taking exclusive lock and blocking the Update statement. Even Read committed snapshot Isolation is enabled.
SQL SERVER 2012 SP2
Windows server 2012.
Lock pages in Memory has been enabled
Please let me know any one can help us :)

1) There's not really any such thing as a "blocking SQL Statement". A query is blocked by a session because that other session holds incompatible locks. Those incompatible locks may have been acquired by a previous query in the blocking
session's transaction. So the SELECT you see in the report may not be responsible for the blocking the UPDATE.
2) In RCSI only READ COMMITTED and SNAPSHOT isolation levels use the row versioning, lock-free reading. If you start a transaction an select a different isolation level you will acquire S locks to read data. For instance .NET apps using
TransactionScope, or COM+ apps using transactions can unintentionally start a SERIALIZABLE transaction. Effectively opting-out of RCSI. see eg
using new TransactionScope() Considered Harmful

While local variable initialized inside try block compiler throws error???

Check out this code where two local variables(one String and the other int type) is declared at the beginning of the method and initialized inside try block. now when i compile this app, it gives an error sayin' that Variables not been initialized. Can anyone tell me why compiler is throwin' an error message?
Many thanks.

jfbriere,
Thanks to u all.
that every reference to the variable is necessarily preceded

Can u clarify this?

Posiibility for terminating jvm inside try block so that finally block wont

posiibility for terminating jvm inside try block so that finally block wont execute at all ?
But in that case what will happen?
Is it safe for any practical situation ?
Threads: t.stop()
JVM : System.exit()
which one can really help and where?

What if security Manager comes into picture?
class ExitCatchingSecurityManager extends SecurityManager
public void checkExit(int status)
Process.terminateProcessWithThreadGroup(getThreadGroup());
throw new SecurityException();
What if an application calls System.exit()?
We still have one big hole in our multiprocess library. If any application calls System.exit(), the JVM terminates, and all the pseudo-processes will be destroyed with no warning. Fortunately, Java's design once again comes to our aid. Any call to System.exit() is first checked by the SecurityManager to see if the application has permission to terminate the JVM. We can install our own SecurityManager to catch the System.exit() call, disallow it, and terminate the pseudo-process instead. The SecurityManager is actually quite simple to define:
class ExitCatchingSecurityManager extends SecurityManager
public void checkExit(int status)
Process.terminateProcessWithThreadGroup(getThreadGroup());
throw new SecurityException();
In addition, the SecurityManager should define all other checks so that they do not block pseudo-processes from running. A simple null call for all check* methods will work. We install our own SecurityManager by calling System.setSecurityManager(), i.e., by adding the following line near the startup of the multiprocess library:
System.setSecurityManager(new ExitCatchingSecurityManager());
The Process.terminateProcessWithThreadGroup() method is simple to define, by holding a collection of Process objects in the Process class, searching the collection to find the Process with the identical ThreadGroup, then terminating that Process.

How exit for a script having set of pl/sql blocks and sql queries

HI,
I have set of blocks and sql queries in a script.
In some cases I want to stop the excution of next statements and blocks.
As in pl/sql block We can use return , in case of loop we can use exit, so what is to be use in case if sql script which contain set of blocks and sql queries.
Thanks and Regards in Advance,

Hi,
how to exit from the script if confirm_to_continue is set to 'N'.
i.e in this case I want the preceding statements not to be excuted.
Please suggest.
script:
declare /*BLOCK NO1*/
begin
IF &&confirm_to_continue = 'N'
THEN
---exit from from whole script
RETURN; -- this will only exit from this block
END IF;
end;
host IF EXIST &file_name (del &file_name) ELSE (echo missing)
declare /*BLOCK NO 2*/
begin
end;

Is volatile necessary for variables only accessed inside synchronized block

Hi,
I am using ExecutorService to execute a set of threads. Then the calling thread needs to wait until all of them are done to reuse the thread pool to run another set of threads (so I can't use the ExecutorService.shutdown() to wait for all of the threads at this point). So I write a simple monitor as below to coordinate the threads.
My question is: will it work? someone suggests that it might not work because it will busy spin on the non-volatile int which may or may not be updated with the current value from another thread depending on the whims of the JVM. But I believe that variables accessed inside synchronized blocks should always be current. Can anyone please help me to clarify this? Really appreciate it.
     * Simple synchronization class to allow a thread to wait until a set of threads are done.
     class ThreadCoordinator{
     private int totalActive = 0;
     public synchronized void increment(){
     totalActive++;
     notifyAll();
     public synchronized void decrement(){
     totalActive--;
     notifyAll();
     public synchronized void waitForAll(){
     while(totalActive != 0){
     try{
     wait();
     }catch (InterruptedException e){
     //ignore
     }

Don't do that. Just save the Futures returned by the ExecutorService, and call get() on them all. This will only return when all the tasks have finished.

Using item values in a pl/sql block or sql query in a process

Hi,
I am new to apex. Developing my first application.
I have created a form with 2 items. Based on the values in these items, when I click a button, want to execute a
query.
eg: emp_name(item1), deptno(item2). When I clock on find button, I want to fetch the record and disply the resultant
columns in other created items like sal,comm etc.
How can I do this?
I tried the following pl/sql block in a process
begin
select sal,comm into p1_sal,p1_comm from emp where name=p1_name and deptno=deptno;
end;
But it is not accepting the page items in the block.
How to achieve this?
Thanks,
Kavitha

ORA-14451 : Can't do DML inside a select : PL/SQL Question

I was just wondering if anyone had an answer to this little conundrum.
I've got a PL/SQL function in a package which has an insert statement inside it which I only
want to perform the insert if it's called from another PL/SQL procedure or function
but not do the insert if it's used in a select statement.
Does anyone know if you can work out the context in which a function is being called within
the function as it would generally be cleaner if I only had one implementation rather than one
for each context.
Not desparately important but it would be nice to know....
Thanks,
Rob

I don't know what the fuss it about -- but -- it seems to work for me. And I can think of a place where this would be useful. In an Oracle (ERP) Applications Alert. Alerts are limited and being able to SELECT and UPDATE a table, from inside the SELECT is useful. SQL Rules are for people who follow rules [HA :) ]

Sql greatest,decode,instr. minimize code lines sql

I did not write this code and please excuse me for my
beginner questions?
· Is there a way to make this code cleaner. Code it
where its less lines of code?
· Can we make the 2 conditions separate rather than a
one after the other?
For ex. Not like this WHEN
INSTR(CASESTAB_1.CASENOTXT,'-ll’) > 0 THEN
decode(CASESTAB_1.RECDT,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),CASESTAB_1.RECDT)
· why is it in a pair like this:
WHEN INSTR(CASESTAB_1.CASENOTXT,'-ll’) > 0 THEN
decode(CASESTAB_1.RECDT,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),CASESTAB_1.RECDT)
if the string to find in
CASESTAB_1.CASENOTXT is independent to comparing date?
Can the string search and date be separate?
· Is the a shorter way of comparing the 4 dates.?
Alternatives
Greatest(
CASE
WHEN INSTR(CASESTAB_1.CASENOTXT,'-ll’) > 0 THEN
decode(CASESTAB_1.RECDT,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),CASESTAB_1.RECDT)
WHEN INSTR(CASESTAB_1.CASENOTXT,'-ss’) > 0 THEN
decode(ERTAB.FINERDT,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),ERTAB.FINERDT)
WHEN INSTR(CASESTAB_1.CASENOTXT,'-dd ') > 0 THEN
decode(ERTAB.PUBLICATIONDT,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),ERTAB.PUBLICATIONDT)
WHEN INSTR(CASESTAB_1.CASENOTXT,'-ff’) > 0 THEN
decode(ERTAB.PUBLICATIONDT,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),ERTAB.PUBLICATIONDT)
ELSE
decode(CASESTAB.CPDT,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),CASESTAB.CPDT)
END
,decode(CASESTAB.CPDT,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),CASESTAB.CPDT))
sql finds the suffixes from CASESTAB_1.CASENOTXT
AND
compares dates 4
· CASESTAB_1.RECDT
· ERTAB.FINERDT
· ERTAB.PUBLICATIONDT
· CASESTAB.CPDT
AND GETS THE LATER OF THE 4 DATES.
1. \find the suffix from caseN0 field/col
-ll
--ss
-dd
-ff
CASESTAB_1.CASENOTXT
2. dates to find the latest date.
· CASESTAB_1.RECDT
· ERTAB.FINERDT
· ERTAB.PUBLICATIONDT
· CASESTAB.CPDT
Using greatest function.
3. the tables are
1. ERTAB
2. CASESTAB
3. CASESTAB

Well, I don't know how much simpler it could get and still do
what it is designed to do. For example, the statement
WHEN INSTR(CASESTAB_1.CASENOTXT,'-ll’) > 0 THEN
decode(CASESTAB_1.RECDT,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),CASESTAB_1.RECDT)
basically means that if the CASENOTXT column contains
'-ll’, then look at the RECDT column and if it is NULL, use
the date value of '01/01/1900', otherwise use the date value in the
RECDT column.....
and so on through the other WHEN clauses in your CASE
statement. Is this what you are expecting thsi query to do?

PL/SQL block to sql case

Hello,
I have a newbie sql question:
I have the following pl/sql block that I want to transform in sql case code:
             IF Num_WholesaleNonDiscountValue > 0.0 THEN
                  UsageStatus := 'CHARGE';
                  if Num_WholesaleNonDiscountValue < 1.0 then
                      WholesaleNonDiscountValue := '0' || TO_CHAR(Num_WholesaleNonDiscountValue);
                    else
                      WholesaleNonDiscountValue := TO_CHAR(Num_WholesaleNonDiscountValue);
                  end if;
              ELSE
                  UsageStatus := 'FREE';
                  WholesaleNonDiscountValue := TO_CHAR(Num_WholesaleNonDiscountValue);
              END IF;All I do is the following code:
select (case when Num_WholesaleNonDiscountValue > 0.0 then
                          (case Num_WholesaleNonDiscountValue < 1.0 then '0' || TO_CHAR(Num_WholesaleNonDiscountValue
                           else TO_CHAR(Num_WholesaleNonDiscountValue))
         else TO_CHAR(Num_WholesaleNonDiscountValue)) from table_name;I do not know how to evaluate the UsageStatus variable, where to put it in the select statement.
This is for my learning process.
Thanks in advanced,

Hi, Dan,
I think you want something like this:
SELECT     CASE
          WHEN Num_WholesaleNonDiscountValue > 0

In PL/SQL, you can do two or more completely separate things (set two different variables, for example) in the same IF-THEN-ELSE block.
To get the same results in SQL requires a completely different approach.
The clearest is to use a different CASE expression for each of the things you're trying to do, as I did above. The WHEN clauses of those CASE statements may be very similar, even identical.
Sometimes you can factor out some of the logic (using a sub-query, perhaps) so that the logic that has to be repeated in each CASE expression is very simple.
Another option for setting two variables is to have a single CASE expression that returns a string wihich is the concatenation of two different varibales, which you later parse into two separate variables. I would do this only as a last resort.

Anonymous Block in SQL Developer

I am using SQL Developer 3.1x and trying to run a pretty simple Anonymous block and am having trouble declaring a variable. This block runs successfully:
set SERVEROUTPUT on
--declare
-- V_CRT := CHR(13);
begin
for t in (select owner, table_name from dba_tables where owner = 'ABC123)
LOOP
DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(t.owner, t.table_name);
end loop;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Statistics Calculations complete');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Begin Record Counts');
-- DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_crt);
-- DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(V_CRT);
end;
If I remove my comments in an effort to include my Declare statement, I receive: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "=" when expecting one of the following
How do I declare / initialize the variable "v_crt"? Admittedly this is a VERY basic Block but I just started to build out a more "robust" procedure and am getting stumped.
Thank you for your help!

The symbol *:=* is for assignment, not variable declaration. Just give the variable name and then its type, like this:DECLARE
V_CRT VARCHAR2(13);You can give it a default value if you want to.DECLARE
V_CRT VARCHAR2(13) := 'Hello';Looks like you want it to be a carriage return character.DECLARE
V_CRT VARCHAR2(1) := CHR(13);

Debugging PL/SQL blocks in SQL Developer

Is there any way to debug blocks of PL/SQL in SQL Developer by setting breakpoints in the code? I'm using SQL Developer.
I'm trying to debug some fairly complex PL/SQL blocks - they are not procedures or functions and so I'm unable to run them in debug mode.
p.s. Apologies should have posted this in the database forum really.
