PL/SQL TABLE declarations must currently use binary_integer indexes

Hi,
I am having procedure written in form6i, this procedure is having pl/sql table datatyep "v_suppmesg orcl.err_message.error_tabtype;" this pl/sql datatype is defined in database and the procedure in database is not having any error in it.
But when i am compling my form its giving me error
PL/SQL TABLE declarations must currently use binary_integer indexes
and error point is *"i_rowindex"* in the sentance given below.
*"SET_GROUP_CHAR_CELL (g_suppress_error_colid, v_rowindex, v_suppmesg(i_rowindex));"*
PROCEDURE PRC_A IS
v_rowindex NUMBER (5,0) := 1;
v_suppmesg orcl.err_message.error_tabtype;
BEGIN
g_suppress_error_rgid := FIND_GROUP (g_suppress_error_rgname);
IF ID_NULL (g_suppress_error_rgid)
THEN
g_suppress_error_rgid := CREATE_GROUP (g_suppress_error_rgname, GLOBAL_SCOPE);
g_suppress_error_colid := ADD_GROUP_COLUMN ( g_suppress_error_rgid

END LOOP;
ELSE
g_suppress_error_colid := FIND_COLUMN (g_suppress_error_rgname||'.'||g_suppress_error_colname);
END IF;
END Init_Suppress_Message;
can anyone tell me what's wrong in this.

I have the folowing compiling and executing fine (Forms 10.1.2):
DECLARE

  tab t1;
  rg_id RecordGroup;

  • Can a PL/SQL table Object Type be used in a VO?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use a PL/SQL table object type to provide data to a View Object? In short, I would like to be able to do something like this:
    1. Create record object:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE xx_rec_type AS OBJECT
    (xxid NUMBER,
    xxdesc varchar2(10),
    xxcost number...);
    2. Create table object:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE xx_tbl_type AS TABLE OF xx_rec_type;
    3. Declare and populate the object in PL/SQL package:
    xx_tbl xx_tbl_type;
    xx_tbl(i).xxid := 1;
    xx_tbl(i).xxdesc := 'XXX';
    xx_tbl(i).xxcost := 10.00;
    4. Create a View Object as:
    SELECT * FROM xx_tbl
    Is it even possible to access xx_tbl from View Object? If anyone has done something like this, please do share.
    TIA

    A PL/SQL procedure can exist in Oracle DB, in TimesTen, or in both. You control that by where you create the procedure. Procedures that exist in Oracle can really only be called in Oracle and can only access data in Oracle. Procedures that exist in TimesTen can only be called in TimesTen and can only access data in TimesTen. There is a limited capability, using the TimesTen PassThrough capability to call PL/SQL procedures located in Oracle, from Timesten, and for Timesten PL/SQL procedures to access data in Oracle. Using PassThrough does have some overhead.

  • How to retrieve the values from PL/SQL table types.

    Hi Every one,
    I have the following procedure:

    t t1;
    BEGIN
    SELECT *

    Can anybody help me please!!!!!
    Thanks
    Ahmed.

    You mean, you can't add this
    for i in t.first..t.last loop
    dbms_output.put_line(t(i).empno||' '||t(i).ename||' '||t(i).job);
    end loop;or you can't add this
    set serveroutput onor maybe, you are working in third party application where dbms_output is not applicable at all?
    You see, not able like very similar it is not working - both are too vague...

  • How to sort index_by pl/sql tables data in Oracle 9i Release 9.2.0.1.0 ?

    Hi all,
    I have populated an index_by binary_integer pl/sql table :
    declare
    type rec_ty is record(ligne number,code_enreg number(2),code_enreg_ordered number(2));
         type tab_ty is table of rec_ty index by binary_integer;
         vtab tab_ty;
         i pls_integer := 1;
    begin
    for venreg in(select * from fichier_tempo where num > 0 order by num) loop
              vtab(i).ligne := venreg.num;
              vtab(i).code_enreg := to_number(substr(venreg.texte,7,2));
              i := i + 1;
         end loop;
    end;
    Now I want to sort the code_enreg data of vtab into its code_enreg_ordered field. I must do that because I must verify that each code_enreg data entered are ordered. So if code_enreg is not equal to code_enreg_ordered at a specified index of vtab then I must take a decision in my program code ; I must code something when this disorder happens.
    How to do that ?
    Thank you very much indeed.

    Thank you Jeneesh , it works with a few modifications about the assignement of the pl/sql tables.
    Fantasy > Your blog talks about sorting the pl/sql table through the key. But I want to sort it through the field data. And my field data contains duplicated data. So you did not really reply to my need. Thank you anymore.

  • How to run a SQL statement which is stored inside an SQL Table

    Hello,
    If anyone please help me with the following problem I would be forever grateful
    I have an SQL statement which is stored inside a certain SQL table, I want to use that SQL statement inside my PL/SQL procedure.
    Was thinking of a simple solution of obtaining the SQL statement into an array and then execute it, yet how could I do so exactly with PL/SQL? I've only started playing around with PL/SQL in the last few days.
    Thanks in advance!
    This is how it looks like more or less:
    Displaying result for:
    SELECT TRIM(OBJ_VALU_TXT)
    FROM   OBJ_VALU_DOC
    WHERE  OBJECT_TYPE  = 'FLD'
      AND  OBJECT_CODE  = 15443
      AND  OBJ_VALU_CD  = 'ACR'
    ORDER BYDOC_SEQ_NO
    00001                                                            
    SELECT
    VALUE(MAX(RECEIPT_NO) + 1, :OUT-COMP-FACTOR)
    FROM RECEIPT
    WHERE (RECEIPT_NO BETWEEN
    :OUT-COMP-FACTOR AND :OUT-TO-NUMBER) OR
    (RECEIPT_NO > :OUT-COMP-FACTOR AND
    :OUT-TO-NUMBER = 0)

    Here's a demo of your requirement.
    create table t ( col1 varchar2(200));
    table created
    insert into t values('select * from dual');
    1 row inserted
    declare
    v_col varchar2(200);
    v_val varchar2(200);
    begin
    select col1 into v_col from t;
    execute immediate v_col into v_val;
    dbms_output.put_line(v_val);
    end;
    X
    Using into clause, you can use as many variables as required. But the basic approach reamins the same.
    But storing SQL in DB is not an efficient design.

  • Joining java array with SQL table in a stored procedure

    Hey,
    I am calling a pl/sql stored procedure from a java program passing two arrays (employees) and (departments) as parameters to the procedure. Within the procedure I have stored the arrays in a table of records like this:
    type t_emp_type is record (employee_id number, department_id number);
    type t_emp_tbl_type is table of t_emp_type index by binary_integer;
    Where all elements in employees are stored in the employee_id column and departments are stored in the department_id column. So basically I've got a table like:
    l_employee_tbl t_emp_tbl_type;
    Looped through the arrays and stored the data like:
    for i in 1..p_employees.count loop
    l_employee_tbl(i).employee_id := p_employees(i);
    l_employee_tbl(i).deparment_id := p_departments(i);
    end loop;
    Now I would like to compare my l_employee_tbl with a SQL table in the database. Basically I would like to join my l_employee_tbl table with a SQL table named departments on department_id, returning all department_id:s that was not found in table departments.
    However, it is not possible to select from a user-defined table type. I have also tried to use the table() function and to cast l_employee_tbl, but found out it can't be done with records. And I would really like to use records or some other type where define my PL/SQL data. I know that you should not mix PL/SQL and SQL but in this case I think it is more efficient to try joining these "tables". Does anyone have a solution for this or advice to try something else out? It would be most appreciated.

    Now I would like to compare my l_employee_tbl with a SQL table in the database. Basically I would like to join my l_employee_tbl table with a SQL table named departments on department_id, returning all department_id:s that was not found in table departments. Of course, not possible as the SQL engine does not support PL/SQL user defined types. PL/SQL however support user defined SQL types. Which makes SQL defined types a lot more flexible.
    However, it is not possible to select from a user-defined table type. I have also tried to use the table() function and to cast l_employee_tbl, but found out it can't be done with records. Never mind SQL and PL/SQL - as a generic programming data structure principle. How do you expect being able to cast an associative array (name-value pairs) to a standard array? The two data structures are very different. So I'm puzzled in how you expect to move a non-scalar name-value pair data structure into a non-scalar value only data structure?
    And I would really like to use records or some other type where define my PL/SQL data. Why exactly? If the Java or PL/SQL data structure is populated using SQL data and database data, and wanting to use that data structure in SQL, what is the point? Why pull SQL data into a client data structure at all then - surely it is far more performant and scalable to rather keep that data in the database, and do the joins/selects/filters/etc using SQL?
    There is also the issue of scalability of local data structures in PL/SQL. The PL/SQL engine runs inside an Oracle server process, consuming private process memory on the server. The bigger the data structures used in PL/SQL, the more server memory needs to be allocated to that server process. This does not scale. Especially not if 10 or more such server processes are running the same PL/SQL code and each server needs to grab large chunks of server memory.
    If the data from Java comes from another source (e.g. keyboard, etc), and you need a means of storing this data server-side for use by PL/SQL and SQL. There are 2 basic choices. PL/SQL arrays for smallish amounts of data - and basing these arrays preferable on SQL data types allowing the array to be used by both SQL and PL/SQL engines. If the amount of data is not smallish, then it should be stored in the SQL engine (database) as that is designed for that exact purpose. And if the data is transient, then a GTT (global temp table) structure can be used (and indexed for optimal access).

  • Pl/sql table(reports)

    HI
    please help me to create a Query using a PL/SQL Table.I want to use the query builder for it, but i don't see the pl/sql table, but i can see all the database tables.I am new to reports, and all of my efforts are in vain.

    SELECT FROM PL/SQL TABLE IN ORACLE REPORTS 6I
    The requirement is to populate a table and then select from that table in a report. The typical solution is to
    populate a database table, but for situations where that is undesirable there is a way to select from a PL/SQL
    table.
    For example - for each employee we want to populate a PL/SQL table and then select from that table.
    I used the following records in the emp table:
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(123,'Bob','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(321,'Sue','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(234,'Mary','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(623,'Joe','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(621,'Jim','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(634,'Jane','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(723,'Fred','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(721,'Meg','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(734,'Jill','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
    =============================================================================================
    Step 1: Create a package spec in the report:
    PACKAGE pkg_table IS
    TYPE t_rec IS RECORD (
    field1 NUMBER(6),
    field2 VARCHAR2(30));
    TYPE t_tab IS TABLE OF t_rec INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    gv_tab t_tab;
    FUNCTION populate (
    p_empno NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER;
    END;
    Step 2: Create the package body:
    PACKAGE BODY pkg_table IS
    FUNCTION populate (
    p_empno NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
    BEGIN
         gv_tab.DELETE;
         -- populate table as required - for demo purposes put in anything
         FOR lv_ind IN 1..MOD(p_empno,20) LOOP
              gv_tab(lv_ind).field1 := lv_ind;
              gv_tab(lv_ind).field2 := 'row '||TO_CHAR(lv_ind)||' for emp '||TO_CHAR(p_empno);
         END LOOP;
         RETURN gv_tab.COUNT;
    END populate;
    END;
    Step 3: Create the master query:
    SELECT empno,
    ename
    FROM emp
    Step 4: Add a formula column CF_populate to the master query that does:
    function CF_populateFormula return Number is
    -- for each emp fetched this formula will repopulate the PL/SQL table
    -- and return the number of records in the table
    begin
    return pkg_table.populate(:empno);
    end;
    Step 5: Create the detail query:
    -- we need to join this to the master and then ensure that for each
    -- empno there are as many records fetched as there will be
    -- records in the PL/SQL table
    SELECT e1.empno,rownum
    FROM emp e1, emp e2, emp e3
    WHERE rownum <= :CF_populate
    Step 6: Add formula columns to the detail query for each of the fields in the
    PL/SQL table we want to display:
    CF_Field1:
    function CF_field1Formula return Number is
    begin
    return pkg_table.gv_tab(:rownum).field1;
    end;
    CF_Field2:
    function CF_field2Formula return Varchar2 is
    begin
    return pkg_table.gv_tab(:rownum).field2;
    end;
    Step 7: Create the repeating frame and layout items to display the formula columns.
    =============================================================================================
    The same technique can be used to populate a master query. In a report level formula column
    CF_Populate populate the PL/SQL table as required. In the master query we just need the rownum:
    SELECT rownum
    FROM emp, emp, emp
    WHERE rownum <= :CF_Populate
    Add the formula columns to display Field1 and Field2.

  • Related to PL/Sql table

    Is there is any way to use DML statement in PL/Sql table? Can I use select command on associative arrays or plsql tables.

    Check with Bulk collection concept ?
    I am not sure DML operation is not possible , because it is just ARRAY stores on your session only , You can delete one Index value or Add or Manuipulate , but no significance with Database.
    There are some properties with BULK COLLECTION on PL/SQL table that you can populate data to Database table

  • Select is not using the Index

    Hi,
    I have a Z-Table. The Primary key is:
    EQUNR and LFDNR
    I created now a new index with the field: EQUNR BSTNK .
    Now I entered 3 equnrs and bstnk like 07* in SE16n
    Normally what I thought should happen is that it uses the index to read the three equipments and than checks the field bstnk.
    Instead it does a sequentiel read of the hole table that contains 12mio entries!
    When I enter the bstnk more qualified like 0712354* the search is fast (1sec). Why is SAP bypassing the index and does a sequentiel read instead?!

    Hi I checked,
    ST05 the fast run was using an Index, the second didn't!
    Thanks to  John. After I started a runstat on this table it worked.
    But  the weird thing is when I use a inner join between my Z-Table and the EQUI table it doesn't use the index.
    When I first select all equnrs in EQUI and then select the data from my z-Table with for all entries it uses my new index!
    Example:
    EQUNR has Index on field SERNR
    Z-Table has Index on EQUNR + BSTNK
    in sernrs I have ~5 full qualified sernos
    in bstnk I have something like 07*
    3 of these serialnumbers are in a bstnk that begins with 07.
              select *
                into corresponding fields of table search_result
                from equi as a
                inner join z-table as b on b~equnr = a~equnr
                where   a~sernr     in sernrs
                  and   b~bstnk     in bstnks
    After 5 min I have to kill the process. in SM50 I can see sequential read...
    When I do this:
            select equnr
              from equi
              into corresponding fields of table lt_search_result
              where sernr in sernrs.
              select *
                from z_table
                into corresponding fields of table lt_search_result
                for all entries in lt_search_result
                where equnr = lt_search_result-equnr
                  and bstnk in bstnks.
    It takes 2sec and I got the result.

    I have just upgraded a VB5/NT (RDO + MS ODBC for Oracle) app to VB6/XP (ADO + Oracle's OLE DB). The calls to stored procedures that returns tables are not working now. I get following error:
    -214721900 ORA-06550: line 1, column 42:
    PLS-00201:identifier 'LO_AUDIT_ID_TBL' must be declared
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
    PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    Please provide hint/help.

    Yes, the LO_AUDIT_ID_TBL is a variable (of table type) being returned from the stored procedure.
    I tried changing case of table is in pl/sql.
    I tried removing the table(s) from the Call statement...
    and I get error message that there are missing parameters.
    THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.
    I have been reading OLE DB User's guide in which there are examples of Ref Cursors and has no documentation regarding how to achieve same using tables (in stead of Ref Curs). I am also looking for documentation that would describe all different Registry attributes that could be turned on or off to do things, but have not been able to find any.
    I am trying to use the PLSQLRSet to retrieve rowsets from pl/sql tables. You can see that in my VB code below, in GetSPResultSet function.
    The VB Code is:
    Public Function Retrieve() As ADODB.Recordset
    Dim inparam(-2 To -1) As Variant 'set to be ignored by GetSPResultSet method
    Dim outparam(0) As Variant
    Dim strSQL As String
    strSQL = "{ CALL PckPLAudit.Sel_Smmry( ?,{resultset 1000, lo_audit_id_tbl, lo_audit_dt_tbl, lo_audit_type_tbl, " & _
    "lo_audit_status_tbl, lo_qty_selected_tbl, lo_qty_deselect_tbl, lo_qty_sent_tbl, lo_qty_follow_tbl, " & _
    "lo_qty_received_tbl, lo_qty_ncpl_tbl, lo_qty_security_tbl, lo_qty_closed_tbl, lo_qty_sentsec_tbl}, {resultset 1, lo_res_tbl} ) }"
    Set rdoRs = mConnection.GetSPResultSet(strSQL, inparam(), outparam())

  • Huge memory leaks in using PL/SQL tables and collections

    I have faced a very interesting problem recently.
    I use PL/SQL tables ( Type TTab is table of ... index by binary_integer; ) and collections ( Type TTab is table of ...; ) in my packages very widely. And have noticed avery strange thing Oracle does. It seems to me that there are memory leaks in PGA when I use PL/SQL tables or collections. Let me a little example.
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE rds_mdt_test IS
    TYPE TNumberList IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER);
    END rds_mdt_test;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY rds_mdt_test IS
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
    x TNumberList;
    BEGIN
    FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x(indx) := indx;
    END LOOP;
    END;
    END rds_mdt_test;
    I run the following test code:
    BEGIN
    rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table (1000000);
    END;
    and see that my session uses about 40M in PGA.
    If I repeat this example in the same session creating the PL/SQL table of smaller size, for instance:
    BEGIN
    rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table (1);
    END;
    I see again that the size of used memory in PGA by my session was not decreased and still be the same.
    The same result I get if I use not PL/SQL tables, but collections or varrays.
    I have tried some techniques to make Oracle to free the memory, for instance to rewrite my procedure in the following ways:
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
    x TNumberList;
    BEGIN
    FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x(indx) := indx;
    END LOOP;
    x.DELETE;
    END;
    or
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
    x TNumberList;
    BEGIN
    FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x(indx) := indx;
    END LOOP;
    FOR indx in 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x.DELETE(indx);
    END LOOP;
    END;
    or
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
    x TNumberList;
    empty TNumberList;
    BEGIN
    FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x(indx) := indx;
    END LOOP;
    x := empty;
    END;
    and so on, but result was the same.
    This is a huge problem for me as I have to manipulate collections and PL/SQL tables of very big size (from dozens of thousand of rows to millions or rows) and just a few sessions running my procedure may cause server's fall due to memory lack.
    I can not understand what Oracle reseveres such much memory for (I use local variables) -- is it a bug or a feature?
    I will be appreciated for any help.
    I use Oracle9.2.0.1.0 server under Windows2000.
    Thank you in advance.
    Dmitriy.

    Thank you, William!
    Your advice about using DBMS_SESSION.FREE_UNUSED_USER_MEMORY was very useful. Indeed it is the tool I was looking for.
    Now I write my code like this
    declare
    type TTab is table of ... index binary_integer;
    res TTab;
    empty_tab TTab;
    begin
    res(1) := ...;
    res := empty_tab;
    DBMS_SESSION.FREE_UNUSED_USER_MEMORY;
    end;
    I use construction "res := empty_tab;" to mark all memory allocated to PL/SQL table as unused according to Tom Kyte's advices. And I could live a hapy life if everything were so easy. Unfortunately, some tests I have done showed that there are some troubles in cleaning complex nested PL/SQL tables indexed by VARCHAR2 which I use in my current project.
    Let me another example.
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE rds_mdt_test IS
    TYPE TTab0 IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    TYPE TRec1 IS RECORD(
    NAME VARCHAR2(4000),
    rows TTab0);
    TYPE TTab1 IS TABLE OF TRec1 INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    TYPE TRec2 IS RECORD(
    NAME VARCHAR2(4000),
    rows TTab1);
    TYPE TTab2 IS TABLE OF TRec2 INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    TYPE TStrTab IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER);
    PROCEDURE test_str_tab(cnt INTEGER);
    x TTab2;
    empty_tab2 TTab2;
    empty_tab1 TTab1;
    empty_tab0 TTab0;
    str_tab TStrTab;
    empty_str_tab TStrTab;
    END rds_mdt_test;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY rds_mdt_test IS
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
    BEGIN
    FOR indx1 IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    FOR indx2 IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    FOR indx3 IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x(indx1) .rows(indx2) .rows(indx3) := indx1;
    END LOOP;
    END LOOP;
    END LOOP;
    x := empty_tab2;
    dbms_session.free_unused_user_memory;
    END;
    PROCEDURE test_str_tab(cnt INTEGER) IS
    BEGIN
    FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    str_tab(indx) := indx;
    END LOOP;
    str_tab := empty_str_tab;
    dbms_session.free_unused_user_memory;
    END;
    END rds_mdt_test;
    1. Running the script
    BEGIN
    rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table ( 100 );
    END;
    I see that usage of PGA memory in my session is close to zero. So, I can judge that nested PL/SQL table indexed by BINARY_INTEGER and the memory allocated to it were cleaned successfully.
    2. Running the script
    BEGIN
    rds_mdt_test.test_str_tab ( 1000000 );
    END;
    I can see that plain PL/SQL table indexed by VARCHAR2 and memory allocated to it were cleaned also.
    3. Changing the package's type
    TYPE TTab2 IS TABLE OF TRec2 INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
    and running the script
    BEGIN
    rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table ( 100 );
    END;
    I see that my session uses about 62M in PGA. If I run this script twice, the memory usage is doubled and so on.
    The same result I get if I rewrite not highest, but middle PL/SQL type:
    TYPE TTab1 IS TABLE OF TRec1 INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
    And only if I change the third, most nested type:
    TYPE TTab0 IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
    I get the desired result -- all memory was returned to OS.
    So, as far as I can judge, in some cases Oracle does not clean complex PL/SQL tables indexed by VARCHAR2.
    Is it true or not? Perhaps there are some features in using such way indexed tables?

    I am trying to evaluate the expression ":b1+:b2+(:b3*:b4)" which is stored in table. This table has different expressions (around 300 expressions). I want to use the bind variables in expression because each expression evaluated thousand of time may be more in some case. If I don't use bind variable then it fill shared pool.
    Is there any way I can pass the USING (IN) parameters dynamically instead of writing "USING lv_tab(1), lv_tab(2), lv_tab(3), lv_tab(4)"? As number of input parameters change depend on the expression in the table.
    If not possible please suggest any other ideas/approches
    Please help..
