Nested tables recursive SQL

Hello, I am trying to figure out why I get the following error message
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-22914: DROP of nested tables not supported
I am using the TOAD tool to create tables using CTAS and I have managed to create several tables using the same SQL that is failing now with the only difference being a portion of the WHERE clause.
Any help will be very much appreciated

ORA-22914: DROP of nested tables not supported
       Cause: An attempt was made to DROP a nested table.
       Action: Nested tables cannot be explicitly dropped. nested tables can
      only be dropped by dropping their containing parent table.

DML on nested tables using SQL

Hello. Can anyone tell me what's wrong??
SQL> create type mytype as table of varchar2(20);
Type created
real: 78
SQL> declare
2 c mytype;
3 begin
4 select table_name bulk collect into c from user_tables;
5 delete from table(cast(c as mytype));
6 end;
7 /
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 5, column 13:
PL/SQL: ORA-00903: invalid table name
ORA-06550: line 5, column 1:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
real: 31

we cannot use variables in regular SQL. It has to be
dynamic, viz
begin
for r in ( select table_name from user_tables )
loop
execute immediate ' delete from '||r.table_name;
d loop;
end;
/Cheers, APCyes, but user_tables was only a example. I want to load some data into nested table using BULK COLLECT and then perform some operation on this pl/sql table.
For example:
SELECT col BULK COLLECT INTO c FROM a_table;
SELECT * BULK COLLECT INTO d FROM TABLE(CAST (c AS sql_type));
--After that c and d contain the same data
--but for example
UPDATE TABLE(CAST(c AS sql_type)) Set c.col=...;
generates invalid table name.
Why SELECT INTO works, and UPDATE doesn't (all of this was in PL/SQL context, not SQL).

Loading Nested table with SQL Loader

We have 15 nested tables in an table. Need help in creating a contol file. Tried with the syntax of object collection and didn't work. Can any none share the syntax please.

Thanks Srini and Zoltan.
I am able to figure out, here is the example with one nested table.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE feature_count_type AS OBJECT (
feature_type VARCHAR2(60),
occurs INTEGER
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE feature_count_ntbl
AS TABLE OF feature_count_type;
CREATE TABLE PHANI_ADUSUMILLI(
state VARCHAR2(2),

feature_count feature_count_ntbl
) NESTED TABLE feature_count
STORE AS nested_feature_count_table;
LOAD DATA

Data pump import error with nested tables

So the problem is somewhat long :)
Actually the problems are two - why and how oracle are treating OO concept and why data pump doesn't work?
So scenario for the 1st one:
1) there is object type h1 and table of h1
2) there is unrelated object type row_text and table of row_text
3) there is object type h2 under h1 with attribute as table of row_text
4) there is table tab1 with column b with data type as table of h1. Of course column b is stored as nested table.
So how do you think - how many nested tables Oracle will create? The correct answer is 2. One explicitly defined and one hidden with system
generated name for the type h2 which is under type h1. So the question is WHY? Why if I create an instance of supertype Oracle tries to adapt
it for the subtype as well? Even more if I create another subtype h3 under h1 another hidden nested table appears.
This was the first part.
The second part is - if I do schema export and try to import it in another schema I got error saying that oracle failed to create storage table for
nested table column b. So the second question is - if Oracle has created such a mess with hidden nested tables how to import/export to another
schema?
Ok and here is test case to demonstrate problems above:
-- creating type h1 and table of it
SQL> create or replace type h1 as object (a number)
2 not final;
3 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace type tbl_h1 as table of h1;
2 /
Type created.
-- creating type row_text and table of it
SQL> create or replace type row_text as object (
2    txt varchar2(100))
3 not final;
4 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace type tbl_row_text as table of row_text;
2 /
Type created.
-- creating type h2 as subtype of h1
SQL> create or replace type h2 under h1 (some_texts tbl_row_text);
2 /
Type created.
SQL> create table tab1 (a number, b tbl_h1)
2 nested table b
3 store as tab1_nested;
Table created.
-- so we have 2 nested tables now
SQL> select table_name, parent_table_name, parent_table_column
2 from user_nested_tables;

-- another subtype of t1
SQL> create or replace type h3 under h1 (some_texts tbl_row_text);
2 /
Type created.
-- plus another nested table

Tom Kyte has said it repeatedly ... I will repeat it here for you.
The fact that Oracle allows you to build object tables is not an indication that you should.
Store your data relationally and build object_views on top of them.
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/object_views.html
If you model properly, and store properly, you don' have any issues.

Hi all,
i have the following code:

DROP TABLE moving_object_ref
DROP TABLE moving_point_ref

When i execute this for the first time the drop commands fail, as expected and the types/tables are successfully created. But if i try to run again the same code i get this error:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-04063: table "HERMESL.MOVING_POINT_REF" has errors
I have tried to first drop the tables and after the types but then I get this error:

this error occurs when the "DROP TYPE unit_function FORCE" and "DROP TYPE unit_moving_point FORCE" commands is to be executed...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks...

Sql*loader and nested tables

I'm having trouble loading a nested table via sqlldr in Oracle 10g and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I keep getting the following error:
SQL*Loader-403: Referenced column not present in table mynamespace.mytable
Here's an overview of my type and table definitions:
create type mynamespace.myinfo as object
i_name varchar2(64),
i_desc varchar2(255)
create TYPE mynamespace.myinfotbl as TABLE of mynamespace.myinfo;
create table mynamespace.mytable
Info mynamespace.myinfotbl,
note varchar2(255)
NESTED TABLE Info STORE AS mytable_nested_tab;
My control file looks like this:
load data
infile 'mydatafile.csv'
insert into table mynamespace.mytable
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
Info nested table count(6)
Info column object
i_name char(64),
i_desc char(255)
note
Example mydatafile.csv would be something like:
lvl1,des1,lvl2,des2,lvl3,des3,lvl4,des4,lvl5,des5,lvl6,des6,a test data set
I can't figure out why sqlldr keeps rejecting this control file. I'm using 'direct=false' in my .par file.
Any hints?

I just noticed that my email is wrong. If you can help, plese send email to [email protected]
thanks.

Using SQL with Nested Table

Hi ,
Please assist as how can we do this thing
i have a nested table of object type
create or replace type a1 as object
a number,
b varchar2(30),
region varchar2(30)
create type a1_array s table of a1;
declare
v_a1 a1;
v_a1_array a1_array:=a1_array();
begin
v_a1= a1(1, '1' , 'AUS');
v_a1_array.EXTEND;
v_a1_array(1):=v_a1;
v_a1= a1(2, '2' , 'AUS');
v_a1_array.EXTEND;
v_a1_array(2):=v_a1;
v_a1= a1(3, '3' , 'NAM');
v_a1_array.EXTEND;
v_a1_array(3):=v_a1;
end;
Now, i have v_a1_array having 3 rows 2 with AUS region and one with NAM region.
Using SQL can i extract only 'AUS' rows and fetch in ARRAY OF TYPE v_a1_array (using Where clause and Table () functions )
Any help will be highly appreciated. Please assist. I have oracle 11g
Thanks

Using FOR .. LOOP counter in handling of PL/SQL procedures with nest. table

Hi all!
I'm learning PL/SQL on Steve Bobrovsky's book (specified below sample is from it) and I've a question.
In the procedure of specified below program used an integer variable currentElement to get reference to the row of nested table of %ROWTYPE datatype.
Meanwhile, the program itself uses a common FOR .. LOOP counter i.
DECLARE
TYPE partsTable IS TABLE OF parts%ROWTYPE;
tempParts partsTable := partsTable();
CURSOR selectedParts IS
SELECT * FROM parts ORDER BY id;
currentPart selectedParts%ROWTYPE;
currentElement INTEGER;
PROCEDURE printParts(p_title IN VARCHAR2, p_collection IN partsTable) IS
BEGIN
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' ');
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(p_title || ' elements: ' || p_collection.COUNT);
   currentElement := p_collection.FIRST;
   FOR i IN 1 .. p_collection.COUNT
   LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('Element #' || currentElement || ' is ');
     IF tempParts(currentElement).id IS NULL THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('an empty element.');
     ELSE DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ID: ' || tempParts(currentElement).id || ' DESCRIPTION: ' || tempParts(currentElement).description);
     END IF;
    currentElement := p_collection.NEXT(currentElement);
   END LOOP;
END printParts;
BEGIN
FOR currentPart IN selectedParts
LOOP
tempParts.EXTEND(2);
tempParts(tempParts.LAST) := currentPart;
END LOOP;
printParts('Densely populated', tempParts);
FOR i IN 1 .. tempParts.COUNT
LOOP
IF tempParts(i).id is NULL THEN tempParts.DELETE(i);
END IF;
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 50
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('-');
END LOOP;
printParts('Sparsely populated', tempParts);
END;
/When I've substituted an INTEGER global variable with such FOR .. LOOP counter, an APEX have returned an error "ORA-01403: no data found".
DECLARE
TYPE partsTable IS TABLE OF parts%ROWTYPE;
tempParts partsTable := partsTable();
CURSOR selectedParts IS
SELECT * FROM parts ORDER BY id;
currentPart selectedParts%ROWTYPE;
PROCEDURE printParts(p_title IN VARCHAR2, p_collection IN partsTable) IS
BEGIN
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' ');
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(p_title || ' elements: ' || p_collection.COUNT);
   FOR i IN 1 .. p_collection.COUNT
   LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('Element is ');
     IF tempParts(i).id IS NULL THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('an empty element.');
     ELSE DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ID: ' || tempParts(i).id || ' DESCRIPTION: ' || tempParts(i).description);

What's wrong in code(or what I have not understood)? Help please!First code. You have collection of 10 elements:
1 - null
2 - populated
3 - null
4 - populated
5 - null
6 - populated
7 - null
8 - populated
9 - null
10 - populated
Then you delete null elements and have 5 element collection
2 - populated
4 - populated
6 - populated
8 - populated
10 - populated
Now you execute:
printParts('Sparsely populated', tempParts);Inside procedure you execute:
currentElement := p_collection.FIRST;
This assingns currentElement value 2. Then procedure loops 5 times (collection element count is 5). Element 2 exists. Inside loop procedure executes:
currentElement := p_collection.NEXT(currentElement);
which assigns currentElement values 4,6,8,10 - all existing elements.
Now second code. Everything is OK until you delete null elements. Again we have:
2 - populated
4 - populated
6 - populated
8 - populated
10 - populated
Again you execute:
printParts('Sparsely populated', tempParts);Now procedure loops 5 times (i values are 1,2,3,4,5):
FOR i IN 1 .. p_collection.COUNT
Very first iteration assingns i value 1. And since collection has no element with substript 1 procedure raises no data found.

SQL Loader, nested tables and default values

Is there a way to specify a default value for a nested table entry when SQL*Loader encounters a 'null' value?
I want to avoid this:
Record 5: Rejected - Error on table LEVEL_DESC, column LEVELS.
NULL nested table element is not allowed

Use the NULLIF parameter in your control file for the nested table objects.
e.g
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'level_data.dat'
INTO TABLE LEVEL
(LEVEL_ID POSITION (01:05) CHAR

SQL Loader Constraints with Column Objects and Nested Tables

I am working on loading a Table that (god forbid) contains columns, column objects, and nested tables (which contains several depth of column objects). My question is does SQL Loader have a hidding undocumented feature where it states how the column objects must be grouped in refereneced to the nested tables within the loader file? I can load the various column objects, and nested tables fine right now, however, I am loading them all in strange and insane order. Can anyone answer this question? Thanks.

PL/SQL add procedure with nested table

Hi,
I am trying to do a procedure to input information for one order and another for 2 orders.
The information I have so far is as follows:
Drop table Orders cascade constraints;
Drop type item_type;
Drop type Item_nested;
Create or Replace Type item_type AS Object (
Cat_code Varchar2(6),
Amount_ord Number(3),
Cost Number(5,2) );
Create or Replace Type item_nested as table of item_type;
Create Table Orders (
Order_no Varchar2(8) constraint pkorder primary key,
Customer_name Varchar2(30),
AddressLine1 Varchar2(20),
AddressLine2 Varchar2(20),
AddressLine3 Varchar2(20),
Town Varchar2(20),
Postcode Varchar2(10),
Country Varchar2(20),
Order_items item_nested,
Order_date Date)
Nested Table Order_items
Store as nested_items return as locator;
This has so far worked but I have not managed the insert procedure.
I am using Oracle SQL*plus
Thanks
SG

What I think I need is something of the sort
Create or replace procedure add_order (ordno in Varchar2, Cust_name in varchar2, add1 in varchar2,
add2 in varchar2, add3 in Varchar2, Addtown in varchar2, Pstcde in Varchar2, addcountry in varchar2, ord_date in date)
AS
Begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Insert attempted');
Insert into Orders (Order_no,Customer_name, AddressLine1, AddressLine2, AddressLine3,
Town, Postcode, Country, Order_Date)
values (ordno, Cust_name,add1, add2, add3, Addtown, Pstcde, addcountry,
ord_date);
Commit;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Insert successful');
Exception
When Others then DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('ERROR');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Procedure failed');
End;

Simple question aboout PL/SQL nested tables

Hello, my question is about nested tables. Suppose I have a nested table:
TYPE int_array IS TABLE OF INT;
v_int_array int_array;
Is there a built in function to allow me to search v_int_array for a specific integer value?
George

Use MEMBER OF operator:
declare
    TYPE int_array IS TABLE OF INT;
    v_int_array int_array := int_array(1,2,3,4,5);
begin
    if 1 member of v_int_array
      then
        dbms_output.put_line('Found it!');
    end if;
end;
Found it!
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
