Question on select into statement

hi,
all oracle gurus,
my requirement is as follows
i have a select statement that should be executed dynamically.
The records fetched by the select statement should be stored in a pl/sql table.
my select statement is like this.
Execute immediate'
select null,rh.rec_no,p.lot,pr.each_qty,sl.color_zone,:p_comp_id,pr.unit_cube*(nvl(p.qty,0)/nvl(pr.each_qty,1)),

pls treat this as urgent.
ur valuable suggestions are always most welcome.

Hi,
Here's an exmaple that will help you do it :-
DROP TABLE TABLE1;
CREATE TABLE TABLE1( SYMBOL VARCHAR2(2) PRIMARY KEY, NAME VARCHAR2(10), QUANTITY NUMBER, PRICE NUMBER, DATE_ DATE);
INSERT INTO TABLE1(SYMBOL,NAME,QUANTITY,PRICE,DATE_) VALUES('10','Apples',100,10,SYSDATE);
INSERT INTO TABLE1(SYMBOL,NAME,QUANTITY,PRICE,DATE_) VALUES('20','Oranges',100,10,SYSDATE);
INSERT INTO TABLE1(SYMBOL,NAME,QUANTITY,PRICE,DATE_) VALUES('30','Mangoes',100,10,SYSDATE);
COMMIT;
DECLARE
                  RC1 SYS_REFCURSOR;
               ln_NAME TABLE1.NAME%TYPE;
BEGIN
               OPEN RC1 FOR 'SELECT NAME FROM TABLE1';
               FETCH RC1 INTO ln_NAME;
               WHILE( RC1%FOUND )
               LOOP
                              DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(ln_NAME);
                          FETCH RC1 INTO ln_NAME;
               END LOOP;
               CLOSE RC1;
END;

Can i include variable in select into statement?

Hi all,
Is it possible to include a variable name in the "select into" statement ? For ex:
"Select empname into variable_Name from employee" In this case variable_Name is the variable.Will this statement work by assigning empname to variable_Name if there is only one record in the employee table?please reply....c ya.

Surely you have to? You can hardly SELECT INTO a constant. Perhaps I'm missing something,

Using SELECT INTO statement to transfer data from one DB to another?

Hello,
I need to move data from an SAP table to another downstream SQL server box without flat file in between. I have set up the DBCON interface, so that my ABAP code on SAP can connect to the remote SQL Server, then I can run INSERT command as Native SQL inside the ABAP.
However, INSERT has performance problem. The best performer as I can find is SELECT INTO statement. But then I am stuck at how to use SELECT INTO to query my local SAP table and send (via INTO) to remote database. I am not even sure whether I should use Open SQL or Native SQL.
Any suggestion? BTW, I understand the limitation of Native SQL, but we are OK to use it.
Thanks!

It appears that this is some kind of migration project due to the scope of the data contained in the single file? If so whatever you do is like ly to be trow away once the migration of data is completed.
You have a couple of options:
1) Get the data extracted from HFM in multiple files instead of one bulk file, broken down by scanario,year & period
2) Take the single data dump file produced by FDM and manipulate it yourself to get the data in a more usuable format for processing through FDM.
Option 2 could be achieved via any ETL tool or a custom file parsing script. What may be more attractive to you and allow you to fully leverage your investment in FDM is that you could use the PULL adapter that ships as part of the FDM adapter suite to perform this transformation exercise. The PULL adapter takes a flat file input and allows you to use all the in built functionality of FDM to transform it and output a modified flat file (or series of flat files). You could use it to produce multioload files or a series of files broken down by scenario,year,period.
Whatever you do I would suggest that break the single data file down into smaller chunks as this will help with the iterative debugging process you will inevitably have to undetake whislt migrating the data to the new application.

Where clause in SELECT INTO statement

Hi,
I am using multiple conditions in where clause for my SELECT INTO statement as follows.
SELECT count(DTLA.LOCATION_ID)
INTO LOCATION_ID_count
FROM DOC2_MGR.DOC_TYPE_LOB_ASSOC DTLA
WHERE (DTLA.DOC_TYPE_ID = 'XYZ' AND DTLA.lob_code = 'ABC');
It considers only first condition and returns the result i.e. DTLA.DOC_TYPE_ID = 'XYZ' only.
Does select into statement suppose to consider only one condition in where clause???
Thanks in advance!
--Sandeep

I got it resolved. Here is list of things I noted
1. I was using variable names same as column names. It was mixing up temp variable names with column name on the table, which doesn't make sense as I was referring column names in table.column format
2. I had mixed few datatypes. Input param was suppose to be number where as I was passing it as Text
Thanks anyway!

SELECT INTO statement

Hello
I have entered the following statement into the SQL Command Processor in HTML Db:
select * into DEMO_CUSTOMERS_COPY from DEMO_CUSTOMERS
I get the following error:
ORA-00905: missing keyword
Can anyone tell me why I'm getting this error? I think the syntax of the statement looks ok to me but I may be wrong
Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon,
No problem...glad to help.
Your original command (with a little modification) is the sort of thing you usually see in PL/SQL where you want to extract a column (or record) from a table, for example
SQL> set serveroutput on;
SQL> declare
   v_value dual.dummy%TYPE;
begin
select
    dummy
into
    v_value
from dual;
dbms_output.put_line('The value is: ' || v_value);
end;
The value is: XNote that "select..into" requires only one row to be returned, so if multiple rows are returned then you'll get a TOO_MANY_ROWS exception.
Hope this helps.

Select Into statement in db function - query from granted schema table

problem with "select into" in db function in 10.2
There are two schemas. 'mdbdev' is the master database and 'devusr' is granted SELECT table access to execute queries in mdbdev schema.
with devusr, in SQL, I'm able to execute the following query
select wm_concat(strConcatedCountryList)
from (select country_name as strConcatedCountryList from mdbdev.country_master mdbcm
where mdbcm.country_ship_status = <param?>
order by country_name)
but when I use the same query in function/procedure with "select into", the compilation failed with error *"table or view does not exist"*
FUNCTION GETCOUNTRYLISTTOSHIP (SHIP_STATUS IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
var2CountryList VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
select wm_concat(strConcatedCountryList) INTO var2CountryList
from (select country_name as strConcatedCountryList from mdbdev.country_master mdbcm
where mdbcm.country_ship_status = <value of SHIP_STATUS>
order by country_name);
return var2CountryList;
END;
Please advise/help/hint :)

David, Justine, Thank you. The facts from this forum post helped a lot to get the solution.
The query helped a lot (select * from all_tab_privs_recd where owner = 'MDBDEV' and table_name = 'COUNTRY_MASTER").
there was a grant using ???(donno wht DBA said) and no direct SELECT grant on that country_master to "devusr". grant command executed. Now, it works :)

"select into" query statements using the DI API

I am trying to use the DI API (6.5) t create a temp table based on an existing table. For example, here is a query string....
select * into ORDR_TEMP from ORDR
Code...
oRecordSet := IRecordset(oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoRecordset));
oRecordset.DoQuery(sSql);
Error I get...
1). [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot use SELECT INTO in browse mode. 2). [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Statement(s) could not be prepared
For any other regular select statements the previous code works. Does anyone know for sure if a "select into" statement is not possible using the DI API?

Hi Bill,
I´m not really sure if select into is avaiable. But here you´ve got a hint: You could use a user defined function to do it, and just call the function from your code.
SELECT dbo.MyFunction()
Having this function defined in your SQL Server:
CREATE function MyFunction ()
returns char(2)
AS
Begin
select * into ORDR_TEMP from ORDR
Return ('OK')
End
Hope this helps,

SELECT INTO clause strange problem

Hi all,
I need some help with a very strange select into statement.Select into throws NO DATA exception even if table has data.
I am trying to invoke procedure from BPEL.Inside the procedure,I am trying to get "name' from definitions table.But it always throws Data NOT Found exception.But table has relevant data and i am able to see the data by executing the same query outside the BPEL environment/flow(SQL PLUS).
Also,I kept dummy test table for Debugging purpose and it inserted with temp value '103'.
My procedure looks like below
temp:='103';
INSERT INTO test
VALUES ('Test-1' ||dummy,sysdate);
commit;
SELECT name
INTO p_name
FROM definitions
WHERE id =temp;
Please help me in this regards
Thanks in advance.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for quick response.
My actual query is
dummy:=assume getting_valid_value from BPEL(also same dummy inserting into temp value);
SELECT organization_code
INTO p_warehousename
FROM org_organization_definitions
WHERE .organization_code = dummy;
What are the schemas involved? APPS
(Who owns the table?
Who own the procedure? APPS
Is it defined with "AUTHID CURRENT_USER"? NO IDEA
Who runs it when you get the error? Thru BPEL actually
What runs the same query in SQL*Plus and sees a row?). v*alid value(ALF)*
I checked with low level security query as it returns nothing.
thanks

Select Into code not working in Trigger

Hello there,
I was hoping somebody could give me the solution to this problem ,
I have a scenarior in which I was trying to insert into table B if an insert occurs on Table A by the use of a trigger on table A .
Here is the code:
BEGIN
IF INSERTING THEN
select MAX(Val1),MAX(Val2)
INTO localVar_1 ,localVar_2
from tableC,tableD
where <<some join condition>>
INSERT INTO TABLEB(col1 ,
col2,
col3,
col4,
col5,
col6,
col7,
col8,
col9)
VALUES(:new.someValue1,
:new.someValue2,
:new.someValue3,
localVar_1,
localVar_2,
:new.someValue4,
:new.someValue5,
:new.someValue6,
:new.someValue7);
END IF;
The Error I get is ORA-01400 "Cannot Insert Null Into" "Schema"."Table"."Column" . I suspect my localVar_1 to be nulled out ,which brings into question the SELECT INTO prior to this which is supposed to assign a value to these variables , If I do just a SELECT that seems to work but SELECT INTO seems to be having problems . Any suggestions?

Check the NOT NULL constraint in TABLEB, and if you find any columns having it, try to insert a fixed value and see it it works.
thanks

Select into aggregate function

Hi,
I have the following PL/SQL block that I am testing. The block reads a list of values from a local file and inserts the values into a select statement that uses an aggregate function. Here is my code:
DECLARE
f utl_file.file_type;
n COLa%TYPE; --holds values from the file
v COLb%TYPE; --holds value returned by select statement
BEGIN
f := utl_file.fopen(dir,file.txt,'R');
loop -- loop through file
     utl_file.get_line(f,n);
     if length(n) <> 0 then
          SELECT max(A0.COLa) into v
          FROM (SELECT AOB.COLa, A0.COLb
          FROM TAB1 A0,TAB2 A0B
          WHERE (A0.PK=A0B.PK) and A0B.COLa = n) A0;
          IF SQL%rowcount = 0 THEN
               dbms_output.put_line('no rows);
          else
               dbms_output.put_line(v);
          end if;
     end if;
end loop;
     utl_file.fclose(f);
end;
Here is the error I get:
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 98
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 656
ORA-06512: at line 12
I checked the database for the first couple of values in the list and got rows. I also ran a simple PL/sql code to print values in the file successfully. So I dont know why it is returning no data found. From what I understand select into statement using aggregate functions will never raise this exception, so why I am getting this error?
Thanks.

Hi,
Actually, the SELECT ... INTO isn't the problem here.
Look at the error message:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 98
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 656
ORA-06512: at line 12The error is ocurring inside utl_file, which is being called at line 12 of your code. (That must be
utl_file.get_line(f,n);)
Utl_file.get_line raises NO_DATA_FOUND when it reaches the end of the file. (If it didn't you'd have an infinite loop, since your code doesn't have any exit strategy.)
You can put the call to get_line in its won BEGIN-EXCEPTION-END block, and trap the NO_DATA_FOUND error.
For example:
end_of_file := 0;
WHILE end_of_file = 0;
loop -- loop through file
    BEGIN
        utl_file.get_line(f,n);
        if length(n) != 0 then          -- Use !=, because you can't post <> on this site
            SELECT max(A0B.COLa)     -- No sub-query needed
            into    v
            FROM    TAB1 A0
            ,         TAB2 A0B
            WHERE   (A0.PK   = A0B.PK)
            and         A0B.COLa = n;
            IF SQL%rowcount = 0 THEN     -- Not needed: SELECT MAX ... without GROUP BY always returns 1 row
                dbms_output.put_line('no rows);
            else
                dbms_output.put_line(v);
            end if;
        end if;
    EXCEPTION
        WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
        THEN
            end_of_file = 1;
    END;
end loop;Edited by: Frank Kulash on Jul 17, 2009 2:51 PM

A severe error occurred on the current command - select into

Hi
I am making a backup of a table before working on the original, but when I try a simple select into statement I receive 'Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0 - A Severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.'
I am able to run a select query on the original table with the same where clause I am using in the select into statement and it runs without error.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Server 2008 64bit, SQL Server 2008r2
Thank you for any help

This is a generic message that informs you that something went very wrong, either in SQL Server itself or in the client API.
If open a command promptt and try the same command running from SQLCMD or OSQL, what happens? If things seems to work well, run a simple second command like "SELECT 1" to make sure that this works. (The use a different API from SSMS, why it is
worth testing.)
Also look in the SQL Server error log. If you see a stack dump which appeared at the same time as you ran the SELECT INTO statement, then it's clear that the accident was in SQL Server.
I would recommend that you run DBCC CHECKDB on the database, as the root cause could be corruption.

Select * into Table1 from Table not working

the syntax is

SELECT-INTO prepared statement?

Hi,
I have a single-row select to execute. I don't know if the multi-row select functionality (ResultSets, etc.) should be used for a single-select.
Here's from the Oracle JDBC Documentation on a prepared statement with input variables:
PreparedStatement pstmt =
conn.prepareStatement ("insert into EMP (EMPNO, ENAME) values (?, ?)");
pstmt.setInt (1, 1500); // The first ? is for EMPNO
pstmt.setString (2, "LESLIE"); // The second ? is for ENAME
pstmt.execute ();
What I would like to do is have a PreparedStatement for output variables in a SELECT-INTO:
pstmt= conn.prepareStatement("select max(sal) into ? from emp;");
but there appears to be no bind variable functionality.
Callable statements apparently are only for stored procedures.
Basically, should I just use the multirow select for this?
Thanks,
Glen

pstmt= conn.prepareStatement("select max(sal) into ?
from emp;");
but there appears to be no bind variable
functionality.You might be able to bind this as an output parameter, but it seems like extra work (just getting a ResultSet for "select max(sal) from emp" would be a lot more straight forward).
>
Callable statements apparently are only for stored
procedures.Not really, I execute PL/SQL blocks using prepared statements all the time. Sometimes it's the only way to get the data into a format that JDBC can handle.
Here's an example:
    /** This is the SQL used to call the API ... */
    public static final String spSQL =

    "end;";In this example, I declare a few variables, call a stored procedure,
do some more PL/SQL to reduce the results before I finally bring them back.
The first placeholder (question mark) is the input serial number, the second one is an output parameter that gives the row count. The third
question mark is the cursor that contains the data I need, and the fourth is a reference to a status message.
As you can see, the PL/SQL isn't exclusively stored procedure calls.

Basically, should I just use the multirow select for
this?I think you'd need code that looks something like:
DECLARE
myCount NUMBER;
BEGIN
select max(sal) into myCount
from emp;
? := myCount
END;Although wrapping the select in a BEGIN..END block may be enough.
