Put results of dynamic sql into pl/sql table

Hi.
I tried to "google up" solution to my problem but in vain, so if possible could you give me a hint?
The test code which I will paste here is somewhat akward, it is part of bigger code and I tried to simplify and adjust it.
The problem is:
I have sql statement which I construct on the run, and I want to put results of this statement into collection.
With present code I get "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes".
The collection must be global, since later on I need to do selects from this collection using:
select col_1, col_2, col_3 from table(cast(v_pole_final as t_pole)))
And I do not want put constructors into sql statements (which i believe would help).
The select will always return columns types varchar, number, number.
I.e. the same structure as in type "t_zaznam".
I want to use "execute immediate", or "ref cursor - fetch bulk collect into collection".
Thanks for help.
Jan
-------------- My code:
create or replace type t_zaznam is object (col_1 varchar2(64), col_2 number, col_3 number);
create or replace type t_pole is table of t_zaznam;
create or replace function sulc_experim return number
is
s_sql_temp varchar2(6000):= 'select ''asdf asdf'', 7, 777 from dual '||
' union '||
' select ''yes boss'', 1, 111 from dual'||
' union '||
' select ''go home'', 9, 999 from dual';
v_pole t_pole:= t_pole();
v_pole_final t_pole:= t_pole();
begin
execute immediate s_sql_temp into v_pole;
return 0;
end sulc_experim;

I think this is what I meant by "And I do not want put constructors into sql statements (which i believe would help)."
It would be helpful to be able to select "on the fly" also multiple-columns and mainly multiple-rows results into collection.In case you didn't notice: The deciding difference that Karthik made was this line:
execute immediate s_sql_temp bulk collect into v_pole;
If that is not the trouble you have, then please explain you problem with a few samples. What works and what does not work.
Also there is always dbms_sql where you can create the paramters/output types "on the fly".

Extracting the result of a query into a internal table

Hi,
Does anyone knows or have an idea how to extract the result of a query into a internal table, is there a function module or BAPI?
Thanks in advance,
CK

So then normally I would use a statment like:
IFunctionTemplate ftemplate = repository.getFunctionTemplate("BAPI_SALESORDER_GETLIST");
to call a particluar function, but I tried using
IFunctionTemplate ftemplate = repository.getFunctionTemplate("BAPI_MDDATAPROVIDERBW_GETCATALOGS");
and it did not seem to work. I also tried -
IFunctionTemplate ftemplate = repository.getFunctionTemplate("MDDataProviderBW.GetCatalogs");
How do I format the function?
Thanks

How can I put form user exit logic into PL/SQL?

I need to translate the following into a SQL query:

OUTPUT ="&P_ACCT_SEG"
APPL_SHORT_NAME="SQLGL"
MODE ="SELECT"
DISPLAY ="ALL"
NUM = "&P_chart_of_accounts_id"

Where is this data stored in the database and how can I query it?

you might have to check out what is the type of this concurrent program with short name 'SQLGL'.

Now my problem is, I want to get the same requirement by replacing *(select max(empno) from emp) + rownum new_emp* with sequence,
(or) the same logic in one Procedure, am trying but facing some difficulties, can any one help me in acheiving this,
thanks,
sunil

Hi Munky and all,
Sorry if I have not made you clear,
ok let me tell my requirement clearly,
I have EMP Table with Data as shown below,
SELECT empno oldempno, emp_name NAME, mgr oldmgrno
FROM emp;
Output:
OLDEMPNO|NAME|OLDMGRNO
7369|SMITH|7902
7499|ALLEN|7698
7521|WARD|7698
7566|JONES|7839
7654|MARTIN|7698
7698|BLAKE|7839
7782|CLARK|7839
7788|SCOTT|7566
7839|KING|
7844|TURNER|7698
7876|ADAMS|7788
7900|JAMES|7698
7902|FORD|7566
7934|MILLER|7782
Now my requirement is when ever any empno is changed in the table and if that emp is a manager to any other employee, number of that employee should also change automatically with in a single query,
and I have acheived the requirement by using the below query,
SELECT new_emp, NAME, new_mgr_id
FROM (WITH ngr AS
(SELECT empno, *(SELECT MAX (empno)*
FROM emp) + ROWNUM new_emp, emp_name NAME,
mgr
FROM emp e
START WITH e.mgr IS NULL
CONNECT BY PRIOR e.empno = e.mgr)
SELECT t1.*, NVL ((SELECT new_emp
FROM ngr t2
WHERE t2.empno = t1.mgr), 99999) new_mgr_id
FROM ngr t1)
and so output is below,
NEW_EMP|NAME|NEW_MGR_ID
7935|KING|99999
7936|JONES|7935
7937|SCOTT|7936
7938|ADAMS|7937
7939|FORD|7936
7940|SMITH|7939
7941|BLAKE|7935
7942|ALLEN|7941
7943|WARD|7941
7944|MARTIN|7941
7945|TURNER|7941
7946|JAMES|7941
7947|CLARK|7935
7948|MILLER|7947
Now my problem/requirement is I want to use Sequence in place of this query *(SELECT MAX (empno) FROM emp) + ROWNUM new_emp,* but as with clause and subquery clause dosen't allow me to do that, am in vain how to implement that,
So solution to my problem would be a SQL or PL/SQL that can do this operation
Please let me know how to acheive it,
Thanks,

Hi Justin,
Tried the migration tool in Sql Developer and got the following:

v_error NUMBER(10,0);
v_result NUMBER(10,0);

It pretty much just changes the declaration syntax and leaves the rest blank, i.e. the stuff I could probably have done myself.
Is there such a thing as a library of t-sql functions with their equivalent pl/sql functions?
Sort of like a Spanish-English phrasebook I suppose :-)

Today's date dynamically entered into text field that user enters additional text into same field.

Trying to have today's date dynamically entered into a repeating table row textfield when the button is clicked to create each repeating row. The user can then enter addtional text into the same text field next to the date.
Example:
[4/25/2012] This is the text the user entered.
Today's date is populated in each update row created when the "Update Row" button is clicked.
The following script works but only for the first instance, not the second, third, forth, etc...
Click event: (JavaScript, client)
this.resolveNode('Table2._RowB').addInstance(1);
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.RowB.#subform.Update").rawValue
Thank you,

Read statement into an internal table

Hi Experts,
In my report i have several read statements, now my requirement is i want to put all the read statements into an internal table, how do i achieve it???
Thank you!

Hello Maya,
i want to know how many number of times the read statement is used .
Two ways:
1. use a counter after each read statement in your program and increase it by 1 everytime there is read statement and display the final value of the counter in the report that you want.
2. If you just want to know press (CNTRL + F) enter "READ" , select the radio button "In Main program" and then you will get all the read statement and can count it manually.
Hope I have not answered your question wrong. But if I have, please be more specific about your requirement so that many an help you.
Thanks,
Jayant Sahu.

Turning sql string (with dynamic columns) into a pipelined function

Hi guys,
I was working on an apex report the other day, and wrote the sql below (for those who don't know apex well, in an apex report you can define the columns at runtime.) When I was finished, I said to myself: "It would be great to have a pipeline function with this capability." So, the idea would be to have a sql string where the columns are created dynamically, depending on input parameters - and then be able to use this sql everywhere (oracle reports, sqlplus) through a pipelined function.
Here's the sql (simplified, of course, the data itself is actually not important - the LOOP is the key)
declare
v_sql varchar2(4000);
begin
v_sql := 'select client, ';
for i in (select employee from company_employees_view where condition = pi_parameter order by 1) loop
v_sql := v_sql || sum(decode(employee,''' || i.employee || ''', total)) "' || i.employee || '"';
end loop;
v_sql := v_sql || ', sum(total) "Total"';
v_sql := v_sql || ' from company_employees_view group by client';
end;
This sql would result in a final product like:
select client
, sum(decode(employee,'John',total) "John"
, sum(decode(employee,'Paul',total) "Paul"
, sum(decode(employee,'George',total) "George"
(and so on... this sql could have more or less columns depending on the input parameters of the function)
from company_employees_view
group by client;
I have tried feeding this sql into a ref cursor and an object, but always received an "inconsistent datatypes" message.
The object would be something like:
create or replace object rt_employee as (total number);
create or replace tt_employee as table of rt_employee;
create or replace object rt_client as (
client varchar2(100),
employee tt_employee);
create or replace tt_client as table of rt_client;
(I am not paying too much attention to syntax here.)
By the way, no hurry whatsoever, this is just for fun, take your time. I am using database XE with apex 2.1 and sql developer 1.2.
Thanks, Roger

How to spool the result of an query into a file in sql 2000

Hi All,
I have an SQL query which iterates through number of times for checking on some conditions and will return results each time. I wants to save the results into an different xml file each time. I tried using below query:
exec xp_cmdshell 'bcp "use Mimsadaptorlogs; select top 10 * from log order by logdate" queryout "D:\cdr_cg.xml" -T -c -t,' ---> Its not working as expected.
I got the Below output:
NULL
Starting copy...
SQLState = 01000, NativeError = 5701
Warning = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Changed database context to 'MIMSAdaptorlogs'.
NULL
10 rows copied.
Network packet size (bytes): 4096
Clock Time (ms.): total 62
NULL
Could you anuone please suggest me on this.......
Thanks and Regards, Bala

You will need to write a client program to do this. SQL Server is not intended for writing files. People still do it by calling BCP through xp_cmdshell, but this is a dubious practice. Better is to write a CLR stored procedure for the task. However, you
are on SQL 2000, and the CLR support was added in SQL 2005. Furthermore, there is no XML type in SQL 2000, and the only way to generate XML is with the FOR XML clause. But this output is not well understood by BCP. Then I try: [code} bcp "SELECT * FROM Northwind..Customers
FOR XML RAW" queryout slask.bcp -c -T [/code] on SQL 2000, I get [code] 11 rows copied. [/code] which is complete hogwash, because there are 91 rows in that table, and the output should be a single XML document, and the output looks like this: [code] <row
CustomerID="ALFKI"... Bouchers" City="Marseil... tomerID="DUMON" Company... 0.32.21.21" Fax="40.32.... los Hern ndez" ContactT... n Steel" ContactTitle="... e" ContactTitle="Market... ="Salzburg" PostalCode=... " Phone="(21) 555-3412"... ty="Charleroi" PostalCo...
<row CustomerID="WARTH"... [/code] I have truncated the output on the right side, but the left side is authentic. It really is that bad.

Insert result of sql into table

Hi all, how do I insert result of sql into table marco_ttmp ?
I tried this, but it doesn't work, it returns "ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword"
insert into marco_ttmp (var_id,arcdate,contragentid,lpnd,lusd,lkk)

I need to save dynamic SQL into a column called STR in a table.
I have a insert into table A( id, fname, lname)
values(1, 'John', 'Smith');
I have a requirement to save the DML statement that user executed such as this insert statement into table 'A'.
I have to save this into anoter table called 'B' in the 'STR' column.
I have to save that whole insert statement into a cloumn 'STR' in table 'B'
How can do this?
Thank you..

This is not for auditing. The shop wants to save the DML statements in a table when a user does updates and inserts.. at the same time they want to build dynamic sql for this as a string such as update emp set where empno = 1 etc....
could you give me an example please.
Thanks a bunch....

Put some data form the databse of SQL Server into SAP and auto general PR?

Dear all,
Can you tell me how I can put some data from the databse of SQL Server into SAP and auto general PR?
Best regards,

Hi Zhang,
If i have understood your question properly, I guess you wanted to create Purchase Requistion automatically right?
Then you have lots of option simpilest one would be create a couple of Z table with all the fields that you require for header and Item.
create a Program and use BAPI function module to create the PR by reading the values from those Z tables. after creation delete the contents from the table. Schedule this program in Background periodically like everyday or weekly once however you would like it to be. So once the table has contents in it and when the program runs it will create the PR's (Purchase Requisition).
You can also use a workflow with the Z table. Once the Z table is filled you can trigger a workflow based on the Table change. I'm not sure like how to do it but I nkow that this process can also be used.
Hope this might have thrown some light upon.
Thanks,
Prashanth

Passing a string into an SQL query IN statement

Hello,
I need to connect to a database to pull some data to dynamically create a form based on the data I pull back. My SQL query works fine when I manually run it through a SQL client tool, but when I try to pass it through my workflow I'm having trouble with passing my string into the IN part of the statement. So if for example my SQL query is:
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3 FROM Table1 WHERE Field4 IN (?)
I have a process variable that has the string I'm trying to pass into the ?, but I don't seem to be able to get the query to run. I have tried setting up my query to run as a Parameterized Query (passing my string process variable into the ?), and by setting the query up through xPath (where I am calling my process variable with an xPath declaration), but am not having any luck.
The process variable I am trying to pass is formatted such that I'm passing 'Value1','Value2','Value3' but I can reformat this string if need be. Even with using test data I can't get the query to return anything. For test data I have tried: 'Value1','Value2','Value3' ; Value1','Value2','Value3 ; Value1,Value2,Value3 but the query never returns any data. I can't seem to see how to format the string to pass into the query. The Query will work with a single Value in the test data, but as soon as I try to pass multiple values within the string it fails. Any suggestions?

The problem looks to be a limit on what I can pass into the SQL query component. My string is coming from data returned from another database. I take the xml output from that database call, pass it through a set variable component to remove my xml tags from the string, and then format the string in a script component (I have to do it this way because of the way the data coming out of my first database call). I've put in loggers, and can see that the string I'm passing into my query that is giving me problems, is formatted the same way as if I were to use the concat function Scott listed above. It looks like there is a limitation on what can be passed in my variable. I have tried creating my entire SQL query statement in a set variable component, and then just calling the process variable that holds that statement, but there is a character limit of 128 character for what can be passed in a variable through xpath in the SQL query component.
The next thing I tried was changing my SQL where clause. Instead of passing my variable directly into the IN statement I set up a PATINDEX('%:'+countyname+ ':%', ?) > 0 call to check for the values in my database call. As you can see I took out the "," that I was passing as part of my string, thinking that the SQL component was getting confused by them, and placed ":" characters around my values being passed in my string variable. No matter what I try to do though I'm not able to get the query to run. The component looks like it is taking my string, and is seeing the whole thing as a string instead of passing it as individual values within a string.
I think I'm getting close, but I keep getting a Content not allowed in prolog exception in the server logs.

Dynamic SQL within a SQL Query ?

is there any possibility to do like this ?
SELECT table_name, XXXXXXXX('SELECT Count(*) FROM '||table_name) tot_rows
FROM dba_tables
WHERE owner = 'SCOTT';or any other trick to run dynamic SQL within the SQL Query?
Hoping....that it should be.
Regards,
Orapdev

One small disadvantage: it is executing 202 SQL statements: 3 "user SQL statements" (the one above and the 2 "select count(*)..."), and 199 internal ones ...How did you get to those numbers?
I just traced this statement and found completely different results:
