NATIVE PL SQL with OWB9i

Can we use NATIVE PL-SQL with OWB ?
Is there a performance advantage to use it with OWB.
We work with owb9.0.2. We are going to migrate to owb10g soon.

You may be able to, however I have never done so. I would expect that you can just call native PL/SQL from something like SQL Plus? In that case you may be able to use it in custom functions...

What is the problem with native dynamic sql when counting rows in all table

what is the problem with native dynamic sql when counting rows in all table?Giving an error "table or view does not exist". Thanks.

Usually your problem can be described with 'Who cares'. I mean, for what reason do you do this? I doubt that there's a business need to get 100 % accurate answers for this. Normally such things are used to get a picture about the growth of data.
Personally I would prefer to have up-to-date statistics for all tables and just query the number of rows from there. Sufficient for me in < 99 % of all cases.
Just my $ .02...

Gcc compiler for native pl-sql (SunOS 5.9)

Hi All !
Whether it is possible to use native pl-sql compilation on platform Solaris 9 with the compiler gcc? I Have established gcc version 3.3.2
At compilation of a package I receive a error: (Warning) PLS-00923: native compilation failed: make:spdtexmk:?

Although the configuration is certified not all new 9i features are supported with previous versions of Oracle.
In order for result set to work you will require Oracle v9i.

Using Native Dynamic SQL in Forms

Can Native Dynamic SQL be used in Forms 5.0 or Forms 6.0? (Database 8.1.6.0.0)
I have tried the following code (examples below) from the PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference Release 8.1.6 and the Metalinks Note: 62592.1 and the trigger/procedure (in Forms) will not compile. I appreciate any help given.
Example1:
(I have a table named temp_jane with a column named companies and a value 'Hello'. When compiling, I receive the error: 'Error 103 at line 8, column 11 Encountered the symbol ''IMMEDIATE" when expecting one of the following :=.(@%; ')
declare
str varchar2( 200 );
val varchar2( 20 );
ret temp_jane%rowtype;
begin
str := 'select company from temp_jane where company = :b1';
val := 'Hello';
execute immediate str into ret using val;
message('Value fetched from table: '| |ret.company);
end;
Example2:
(Here is the real issue, I don't know what the select statement, so I need to be able to assign a variable. When compiling, I receive the error: 'Error 103 at line 28, column 21 Encountered the symbol "VSQLSTATEMENT" when expecting one of the following: select ').
declare
type ItemsControlCurTyp is ref cursor;
ItemsCur ItemsControlCurTyp;

vSQLStatement varchar2( 5000 );
vExecuteSQL varchar2( 5000 );

Hi JTaylor
You cannot use NDS in Client side (Developer). You have to use DBMS_SQL only.

Workaround for opening a strongly typed cursor using native dynamic SQL

Hi All,
In reading the PL/SQL documentation for Oracle 9i, I noted that the OPEN-FOR
statement with a dynamic SQL string only allows the use of weakly typed cursors.
I have verified this limitation with my own experimentation as follows:
DECLARE
type rec_type is record(
str     varchar2(40),
num     number(22)
type cur_type is ref cursor return rec_type;
my_cur     cur_type;
que     varchar2(100);
tab     varchar2(40);
BEGIN
tab := 'dynamic_table_name';
que := 'select key_name, key_value from ' || tab || ' where key_name like ''01%''';
open my_cur for que;
loop
if my_cur%found then
dbms_output.put_line('source_name: ' || my_cur.str || ', page_sn: ' || my_cur.num);
exit;
end if;
end loop;
close my_cur;
END;
Running the above trivial example in an anonymous sql block yields the following
errors as expected:
ORA-06550: line 10, column 8:
PLS-00455: cursor 'MY_CUR' cannot be used in dynamic SQL OPEN statement
ORA-06550: line 10, column 3:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
ORA-06550: line 13, column 54:
PLS-00487: Invalid reference to variable 'MY_CUR'
ORA-06550: line 13, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Is there a workaround to the situation? Since I do not know the table name at run
time, I must use Native Dynamic SQL. I have a long and complex record type
that I wish to return through JDBC using the REFCURSOR Oracle type in order to
avoid having to register an inordinate number of OUT parameters. Moreover, I
would like to return potentially one or more results in a ResultSet. Using the
standard method of registering native SQL types for the IN and OUT bindings
can only return one result. Hence the reason I would like to return a strong
cursor type. Also, the type of query I am doing is complex, and needs to be
executed in a PL/SQL procedure for performance reasons. Therefore simply
executing a SELECT query dynamically built up on the the JDBC client won't
do the trick.
If anybody has experience with a similar problem and would like to volunteer
information on their workaround, I would really appreciate it.
Best Regards,
J. Metcalf

We can use strongly-typed REF CURSORs in DNS, but the typing derives from a table e.g.
TYPE EmpCurTyp IS REF CURSOR RETURN emp%ROWTYPE;
so the problem is your use of "return rec_type" bit.
Forgive my bluntness but I think you have misunderstood strong and weak typing. You actually want to be using weakly-typed cursors. I mean this:
Moreover, I would like to return potentially one or more results in a ResultSet. suggests that the structure of your resultset may vary, which is precisely what a weakly-typed ref cursor allows us to do. Then we can use the JDBC metadata methods to interrogate the structure of the resultset, innit.
so try this:
DECLARE
type cur_type is ref cursor;
my_cur cur_type;
que varchar2(100);
tab varchar2(40);
BEGIN
tab := 'dynamic_table_name';
que := 'select key_name, key_value from ' || tab || ' where key_name like ''01%''';
open my_cur for que;
loop
if my_cur%found then
dbms_output.put_line('source_name: ' || my_cur.str || ', page_sn: ' || my_cur.num);
exit;
end if;
end loop;
close my_cur;
END;

Alternative to native, dynamic sql to return a ref cursor to a client

I'm on Oracle 8.0.4, and would like to pass a string of values like '1,2,7,100,104' that are the primary key for a table. Then use something like:
procedure foo( MyCur RefCurType, vKey varchar2)
begin
open MyCur for
'select names from SomeTable' | |
' where ID in (' | | vKey | | ')'
end;
This would return a recordset to (in this case) a Crystal Reports report.
However, native dynamic SQL ain't available until 8.1.0. So can anyone think of a clever way to accomplish this, with a way to return a cursor? I can't figure out how to do this with DBMS_SQL, because open_cursor is just returning a handle, not a referene to a cursor that can be passed to a remote client.
Thanks in advance.

Native PL/SQL compilation

Hi -
Does anyone have native PL/SQL compilation working correctly on their Linux server?
It is reasonably easy to deduce suitable values for the init.ora parameters "plsql_...." .
I suspect the problem is with the make file: spnc_makefile.mk .
The supplied make file:
$ORACLE_HOME/plsql/spnc_makefile.mk
does not work, throwing an internal error:
PLS-00801: internal error [79704]
I have read the article on OTN concerning upgrading the entire database to native PL/SQL. It is very helpful, but unfortunately does not solve the problem.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

If..then..else statement in SQL with 'generalized' conditions in the if sta

it is possible to write something approaching an if..then..else statement in SQL with 'generalized' conditions in the if statement.
Attached is the query for the payment register, in which I've written a series of decode statements, one for each possible value of the payment code. The query works OK - however, its specific and as the number of paycodes expand (and they do), the report won't pick up the new paycode until the code is changed. More importantly, the report won't be correct until someone 'discovers' that a paycode is missing, which might take months.
If I were writing the equivalent of this series of decode statements in Focus, it would be something like this:
DEFINE.......
PAYMED/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD LE 18
               THEN PAYMENT_AMT
               ELSE 0 ;
PAYIND/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD GE 19 AND PAYMENT_CD LE 49
               THEN PAYMENT_AMT
               ELSE 0 ;
PAYEXP/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD GE 70
               THEN PAYMENT_AMT
               ELSE 0 ;
PAYREC/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD GE 50 AND PAYMENT_CD LE 69
               THEN PAYMENT_AMT
               ELSE 0;

As you can see, this is both much easier to write and covers the possibility of expansion of paycodes (expansions always fit in these defined ranges).
My question is, then, is it possible to write something like this in SQL and, if so, could you give me some sample code? (I'm one of those people who learn best from looking at the code as opposed to a set of instructions)

Here is one way you could do it.
Create a table that has columns like:
Payment_code varchar2(2),
Effective_Date Date,
Payment_type varchar2(20),
Expiration_Date Date)
Payment type for example could be
I- indemnity
M- medical
R- recovery
E- expenses
Let the table name for example be PAYMENT_CODE.
The select query would look like
SELECT ACCOUNT_NAME,
LOCATION_1,
CLMNT_LAST_NAME,
CLAIM_NBR,
DATE_OF_INJURY,
DATE_CHECK_REGISTER,
PAYEE_NAME_1,
PAYMENT_CD,
SERV_OFC,
CPO_CHECK_NBR,
PAYMENT_FORM,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'E',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) expenses,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'I',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) indemnity,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'M',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) Medical,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'R',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) recoveries,
DECODE(PAYMENT_FORM, 'N', PAYMENT_AMT, NULL) NONCASH
FROM &INPUT_TABLES,
PAYMENT_CODE P
WHERE P.PAYMENT_CODE = SOMEINPUT_TABLE.PAYMENT_CODE
and other conditions
The idea is to group all the payment codes into a few groups to reduce the clutter. If there is ever a change to the payment code, you could modify the table and it will be reflected in your select query.

Problem in SQL with CURSOR( ) ,Why the CURSOR did not work?

hi All:
I have a problem in SQL with CURSOR.
The data is as the attachments.
Here is the SQL statement as follow:
SELECT A.WADCTO,A.WADOCO,B.IGCOST,CURSOR (SELECT X.IGLITM
FROM F3102 X
WHERE X.IGDOCO=A.WADOCO
AND X.IGCOST IN ('B1','D1','C3')) AS DETAIL
FROM F4801 A INNER JOIN F3102 B ON A.WADOCO=B.IGDOCO AND A.WADCTO=B.IGDCTO AND B.IGCOST>' '
WHERE A.WADOCO='10004'
The statement above returns records as follow:
WADC WADOCO IGCOST DETAIL
WO 10004 A1 CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
IGLITM
1KV90CPG2
1KV90CPG2
1KV90CPG2
But, after I add one statement in the subquery, there is no record returned from CURSOR.
Here is the SQL statement:
SELECT A.WADCTO,A.WADOCO,B.IGCOST,CURSOR (SELECT X.IGLITM
FROM F3102 X
WHERE X.IGDOCO=A.WADOCO
AND X.IGCOST=B.IGCOST
AND X.IGCOST IN ('B1','D1','C3')) AS DETAIL
FROM F4801 A INNER JOIN F3102 B ON A.WADOCO=B.IGDOCO AND A.WADCTO=B.IGDCTO AND B.IGCOST>' '
WHERE A.WADOCO='10004'
The statement above returns records as follow:
WADC WADOCO IGCOST DETAIL
WO 10004 A1 CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
no rows selected
Why the CURSOR did not work?
The database version is Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production.

Why this structure and not a join?
The cursor() function returns a cursor handle that needs to be processed - in other words, the client needs to fetch data from it. The Oracle® Database SQL Reference+ (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/expressions005.htm#i1035107) describes it as being equivalent to a ref cursor handle.
Thus why are you creating ref cursor handles as a column in a SQL projection - where each row will have a "+nested+" ref cursor handle to process. What problem are you attempting to hack solve this way?

How to reduce different versions of SQL with bind variables

There is an application, developed on Java.
Application executes SQL following types:
select * from t where id in (:1)
select * from t where id in (:1, :2)
select * from t where id in (:1, :2, :3)
select * from t where id in (:1, :2, :3, :4)
...And as a result very many versions (thousands) of similar SQL.
Do you know a method to reduce number of such SQLs?
I see one method: use one form of SQL with large number of prepared bid variables.
Like as
select * from t where id in (:1, :2, :3, :4, :5, :6, :7, :8, ...);And if query will be executed with one variable, the others will be equal to null.
Is there another method?

Cannot you insert those values into a temporary table and work within a subquery against that table ? That will make the code more secure, especially if the number of values is high.

Integrating PL/SQL with Perl

Hello All,
I have just started learning PL/SQL and this my first R&D stuff with PL/SQL :)
I have a very basic beginner question.
Suppose I want to insert 1 lakh rows in a table through Perl. One and easiest way to do is to prepare and execute insert queries using Perl module - 'DBI' module in a loop
But I guess this will send lot of traffic over the LAN. What I rather feel is that if I execute these 1 lakh SQL queries using PL/SQL it will be comparatively more network efficient and fast.
So I have following questions:
1. Is it possible to integrate PL/SQL with Perl using 'DBI' module
2. Is there a way in PL/SQL that it will return status of all the 1 Lakh SQL queries after execution that will let me know which SQL queries were successfully executed and which failed.

1. Is it possible to integrate PL/SQL with Perl using 'DBI' moduleyes, just use a PL/SQL statement instead of a sql one
2. Is there a way in PL/SQL that it will return status of all the 1 Lakh SQL queries after execution that will let me know which SQL queries were successfully executed and which failed.yes, you have to manage an exception block for each row and store the single row result in a cumulative variable:
The following code is an incomplete and not testet example:
my $STM = "
declare
ret varchar2(10);
begin
begin
    insert into mytab values(1);
    ret := ret||'0';
exception
    when others then
      ret:=ret||'1';
end;
begin
    insert into mytab values(2);
    ret := ret||'0';
exception
    when others then
      ret:=ret||'1';
end;
... and so on ...
select ret into :OUTRES from dual;
end;";
my $outres;
my $hnd = $db->prepare($STM);
$hnd->bind_param_inout( ":OUTRES", \$outres, 10); -- 10 is the variable length, e.g. the number of inserts
$hnd->execute();
print "inserts output: $outres\n";At the end of the script you should hava a string of bits. A 0 for each successful insert an 1 for each unsuccessful...

Learning PL/SQL with SQL plus

I'm looking to teach myself PL/SQL with SQL Plus, it's a works pc so I can not use any other software than SQL plus.
When starting SQL plus I'm asked for a username, password and host string.
I'm taking it the host string is the db I want to connect to and obviously supply the username and password for level of access?
Also what I ideally need is a sample db on my local machine to connect to with SQL plus to learn that way.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Use the net8 configuration assistant preferably as it'll get the syntax correct.
Otherwise you copy the sample one up one folder and edit that.
Connection information (SID, Server/IP, port number) you'll have to get off your DBA.
The name at the start of a tnsnames entry is the name that you want to reference the database as, so you can call it FRED if you like.
e.g.
FRED =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS =
        (PROTOCOL = TCP)
        (HOST = <server name or ip address>)
        (PORT = <port>) -- usually 1521 but can differ if more than one instance on the server
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = <database SID>) -- the name of the database on the server.
)Once that's set up you can then log onto the database in the following way:
sqlplus <user>/<password>@fred
What happens is that the TNS Listener service (that should be running on your PC) will look up "fred" in the tnsnames.ora file and then use the information from that to make the connection to the server on the correct port and connect you to the actual database on there.
After that.... it's up to you.

Tuning sql with analytic function

Dear friends I've developed one sql :
with REP as
(select /*+ MATERIALIZE */ branch_code,
   row_number() over(partition by branch_code, account order by bkg_date desc ) R,
         account,
         bkg_date,
         lcy_closing_bal
    from history t
select REP1.branch_code,
       REP1.account,
       REP1.bkg_date,
       REP1.lcy_closing_bal,
         NULL AS second,
       REP2.bkg_date        bkg_date2,
       REP2.lcy_closing_bal lcy_closing_bal2,
        NULL AS third,
       REP3.bkg_date        bkg_date3,
       REP3.lcy_closing_bal lcy_closing_bal3
from (SELECT * FROM REP WHERE R=1) REP1, (SELECT * FROM REP WHERE R=2) REP2, (SELECT * FROM REP WHERE R=3) REP3
where
       (REP1.BRANCH_CODE = REP2.BRANCH_CODE(+) AND REP1.ACCOUNT = REP2.ACCOUNT(+)) AND
       (REP1.BRANCH_CODE = REP3.BRANCH_CODE(+) AND REP1.ACCOUNT = REP3.ACCOUNT(+))The point is I want to restrict (tune) REP before it used ,because , as you can see I need maximum three value from REP (where R=1,R=2,R=3) . Which analytic function and with wich options I have to use to receive only 3 values in each branch_code,account groups at the materializing time ?

The first step is to put your subquery (which doesn't need to be materialized) into an inline view and restrict the result set on r in (1,2,3) as suggested by thtsang - you don't need to query the same result set three times.
Then you're looking at a simple pivot operation (assuming the number of rows you want per branch and account is fixed). If you're on 11g search the manuals for PIVOT, on earlier versions you can do this with a decode() or case() operator.
Step 1 (which could go into another factored subquery) would be something like:
select
        branch_code, account,
        case r = 1 then bkg_date end bkg_date,

from
        repThis gives you the eight necessary columns, but still (up to) three rows per branch/account.
Then you aggregate this (call it rep1) on branch and account.
select
        branch_code, account,
        max(bkg_date),
        max(lcy_closing_bal),
        max(bkg_date2),
        max(lcy_closing_bal2),
        max(bkg_date3),
        max(lcy_closing_bal3)
from
        rep1
group by
        branch_code, account
order by
        branch_code, accountRegards

Hello,
Can we use SQL WITH clause in Materialized View.

Hello,
Here is an example
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MV_TEST
BUILD IMMEDIATE
REFRESH FORCE ON DEMAND
AS
WITH t AS (SELECT owner, object_type, COUNT ( * )
FROM my_objects
GROUP BY object_type, owner)
SELECT *
FROM t
WHERE owner IN ('SYS', 'SYSTEM');Regards

[1.1.2.25.79] Program hangs after starting long runnin SQL with parameters

Hello Forum,
I'm currently tuning some SQLs with parameters that run some minutes. When I enter the SQL in the worksheet and press F9, SQL Developer asks for the parameters. But after clicking "Apply" (or whatever it is called in the english version, I'm using german ;-)
I get the elapsed time of 0.018 seconds displayed and the whole program hangs until the SQL is completed. The elapsed time is not updated so I don't get the real elapsed time.
I run SQL Developer against an Oracle 9.2 Database on Win2k. The client runs WinXP.
I hope this is not a double post but searching the forum for "parameters" gave too many hits to check. ;-)
Regards,
dhalek

Sqldev hangs when issuing an action that requires the previous action to be completed first.
Sqldev could open a new connection for this, or at least display a message telling the action isn't possible until the previous one completes, instead of just hanging. Vote for the requests for this on the SQL Developer Exchange if you want this getting addressed sooner.
Thanks,
K.
