SQL Reference

Hello,
I had a really nice page from oracle 8i about SQL Reference. There, you could find any SQL-command explain. Now is it down and I cannot find a similar one for 9i.
Can you give me a hint where to find a SQL Reference (Oracle should have a new one...)
Reference

The SQL reference guide is one of the books available at the documentations site (mentioned as a weblink in an earlier reply).
It is also possible to download this library at this page:
http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/oracle9i.html
It is quite big (210MB) but it is essential, for us that are not able to memorize everything...

Oracle 8i SQL Reference

I am not able to find this SQL Reference. I have followed your instructions and looked at the following without luck:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/sql_plus/index.html
http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/index.html#previous

Hi Debbie,
Apologies for the delay in resonding to you.
I'm not sure which version of the Reference you are seeking. However, if you are looking for the 8.1.7 release, then this is the path you can use on the Documentation pages.
Go to the Previous releases section on the OTN Documentation home page: http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/index.html#previous
Then click on: "Oracle8i Database Release 8.1.7".
This returns the Release 8.1.7 Documetation page. On this page you will find Documentation libraries, e.g. A87860_01. Click on the "View library" link.
Then click on the "Oracle8i Server and SQL*Plus" link. The Reference is then listed.
You can try this with any of the "view library" links on any of the Release 8i doc pages.
Regards,
Les

Finally! T-SQL Reference for SQL 2014 available for download!

With a mere delay of four month since the release, it is now possible to download the T-SQL Reference for SQL 2014 for your local copy of Books Online. Due to some reorganisations of the reference material on MSDN, the language reference was misisng from
the initial download.
To get the reference, you need to use Manage Help Settings, which you find the SQL 2014 program group. Select the option "Install content from online". Once all information has been loaded, scroll down to the SQL Server 2014 group and you will
SQL Server Language Reference with an Add option, which you should select.
Now, SQL 2014 uses Help Viewer 1.0, which is very poor, and versions 2.0 and 2.1 which ships with VS 2012/2013 is much more pleasant to use. Thanks to SQL Server MVP Simon Sabin, you can get the SQL 2014 into Help Viewer 2.x in this way. Go to
https://helpviewerredirector.codeplex.com/
save the file to a directory. Open a command prompt in that directory and run "HelpViewerRedirector download". Then in Help View, go to manage settings, and select install content from disk. Browse to the folder and select the files you want to see
in Help Viewer 2.1.

Oracle SQL Reference

There used to be a great site 'Oracle 9i SQL reference' formerly linked at: http://oradoc.photo.net/ora81/DOC/server.815/a67779/index.htm
It included a full syntax of all SQL commands, such as the Create Tablespace, giving and explaining all options for the command. Does anyone know what happened to this reference ? I assume that with 9i, it got replaced - but I do not know where to find it.
Any ideas ?: [email protected]

If you go to http://tahiti.oracle.com, Oracle has put all their documentation online. There's a section for the 9.2 documentation, the 9.0 documentation, and the 8.1.7 documentation. This includes a SQL Reference and a PL/SQL Reference.

I am new with Oracle and require the reference manual to find out more about join conditions. I have some difficulty finding a document from the Oracle web on SQL reference.

Oracle 7 is out of support, thats why it is no longer online available.
But to find out more about join conditions you can search the 8i and 9i documentation on

Where to find 9i PL SQL Reference?

I know there are many books on the market, and profit must be made, but doesn't oracle release a PL/SQL reference guide for each release of its database?
If so can anyone give me the URL? I'm trying to prepare for the 1Z0-147...but there are a lack of good resources available (for 9i).
Much appreciated!

PL/SQL Reference

I'm trying to find a reference for basic pl/sql syntax (ie creating functions and stored procedures). Is there a guide somewhere on OTN?
Thanks!

Use the Documentation link - top of this page.
Or you can always buy a copy of Pl/Sql in 21 days. Basic but it's a good start.

[HINT] SQL Reference

Hi friends,
Today I've found out a SQL Guide by Microsoft I thought you might find interesting.
I has all functions from SQL Server 2005 and explains what they're for and how to use it.
The link is: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189826.aspx
Enjoy!

Cold fusion SQL reference to var

Here's what I'm trying to do
<cfscript>
j=createobject("java", "java.net.InetAddress");
m=createobject("java", "java.net.NetworkInterface");
a=j.getLocalHost();
mac=m.getByInetAddress(a).getHardwareAddress();
</cfscript>

<cfquery name="qVerify" datasource="ABCD">
SELECT *
FROM MobileUsers
WHERE Mac = '#mac#'
</cfquery>
-- and I get:
ByteArray objects cannot be converted to strings
I've tried to convert mac to a string and it does without error but them my mac var turns into what looks like binary data. There has to be a more simple way that works

Oracle 11.2 PL-SQL Language Reference - NOCOPY Example 8–17

Hello,
The following is from the Oracle PL/SQL reference, page 8-19:
In Example 8–17, the procedure has an IN OUT NOCOPY formal parameter, to which it assigns the value 'aardvark'.
The anonymous block assigns the value 'aardwolf' to a global variable and then passes the global variable to the procedure.
If the compiler obeys the NOCOPY hint, then the final value of the global variable is 'aardvark'.
If the compiler ignores the NOCOPY hint, then the final value of the global variable is 'aardwolf'.
DECLARE
    TYPE Definition IS RECORD (word VARCHAR2(20),meaning VARCHAR2(200));
    TYPE Dictionary IS VARRAY(2000) OF Definition;
    lexicon Dictionary := Dictionary(); -- global variable
    PROCEDURE add_entry (word_list IN OUT NOCOPY Dictionary -- formal NOCOPY parameter)
    IS
    BEGIN
        word_list(1).word := 'aardvark';
    END;
BEGIN
    lexicon.EXTEND;
    lexicon(1).word := 'aardwolf';
    add_entry(lexicon); -- global variable is actual parameter
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(lexicon(1).word);
END;
Result:
aardvarkI am confused. I would expect the output to be aardvark regardless of whether NOCOPY was obeyed or not. To test this, I removed the NOCOPY hint and as expected the output was the same. Of course, it should
be the same, because you're saying: "I'm going to pass you a variable that you can change inside the program, so I expect the actual parameter passed to reflect that change outside of the program".
NOCOPY doesn't change that, does it?
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Jason

The difference will show up if, rather than returning successfully from your procedure after setting the variable, an exception is raised instead. Without NOCOPY, the assigned value will be "rolled back"; with it, it is not.
DECLARE
    TYPE Definition IS RECORD (word VARCHAR2(20),meaning VARCHAR2(200));
    TYPE Dictionary IS VARRAY(2000) OF Definition;

Where are the SQL and PSQL reference manuals gone ?

Hello,
I cannot found the SQL and PSQL reference manuals on OTN. In previous version of this web site, there was direct links available, but they seem to have disappeared. As a SQL developer, I have frequently to search in those manuals:
- Oracle8i SQL Reference Release 8.1.5 A67779-01
- Oracle8i SQL Reference Release 2 (8.1.6) A76989-01
- Oracle8i SQL Reference Release 3 (8.1.7) A85397-01
- Oracle9i SQL Reference Release 1 (9.0.1) A90125-01
- Oracle9i SQL Reference Release 2 (9.2) A96540-01
- Oracle8i PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference Release 8.1.5
- Oracle8i PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference Release 8.1.6
- Oracle8i PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference Release 8.1.7
- Oracle9i PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference Release 9.0.1
- Oracle9i PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference Release 9.2
I found in this forum links to Oracle9i SQL Reference
Release 2 (9.2) and PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
Release 2 (9.2), but I would appreciate to have links in the OTN page. Why did you change this ? I must now use Google to search the informations that I need.
Regards

FYI, all the Oracle manuals are online at http://tahiti.oracle.com. There is also a SQL & PL/SQL statement lookup feature that strikes me as a bit easier than using the manual.

PL/SQL function body returning SQL query - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

I'm attempting to dynamically generate a rather large SQL query via the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" report region option. The SQL query generated will possibly be over 32K. When I execute my page, I sometimes receive the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" which points to a larger than 32K query that was generated. I've seen other posts in the forum related to this dynamic SQL size limitation issue, but they are older (pre-2010) and point to the 32K limit of the DNS (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE) and DBMS_SQL. I found this post (dynamic sql enhancements in 11g) which discusses 11g no longer having the 32K size limitation for generating dynamic SQL. Our environment is on 11gR2 and using ApEx 4.2.1. I do not know which dynamic SQL method -- DNS or DBMS_SQL -- ApEx 4.2.1 is using. Can someone clarify for me which dynamic SQL method ApEx uses to implement the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" option?
As a test, I created a page on apex.oracle.com with a report region with the following source:
declare
l_stub varchar2(25) := 'select * from sys.dual ';
l_sql clob := l_stub || 'union all ';
br number(3) := 33;
begin
while length ( l_sql ) < 34000 loop
 l_sql := l_sql || l_stub || 'union all ';
end loop;
l_sql := l_sql || l_stub;
for i in 1 .. ceil ( length ( l_sql ) / br ) loop
 dbms_output.put_line ( dbms_lob.substr ( l_sql, br, ( ( i - 1 ) * br ) + 1 ) );
end loop;
return l_sql;
end;
The dbms_output section is there to be able to run this code in SQL*Plus and confirm the size of the SQL is indeed larger than 32K. When running this in SQL*Plus, the procedure is successful and produces a proper SQL statement which can be executed. When I put this into the report region on apex.oracle.com, I get the ORA-06502 error.
I can certainly implement a work-around for my issue by creating a 'Before Header' process on the page which populates an ApEx collection with the data I am returning and then the report can simply select from the collection, but according to documentation, the above 32K limitation should be resolved in 11g. Thoughts?
Shane.

What setting do you use in your report properties - especially in Type and in Region Source?
If you have Type="SQL Query", then you should have a SELECT statement in the Region Source. Something like: SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE
According to the ERR-1101 error message, you have probably set Type to "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)". In this situation APEX expects you to write a body of a PL/SQL function, that will generate the text of a SQL query that APEX should run. So it can be something like:
declare
mycond varchar2(4000);
begin
if :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is not null THEN
mycond:='WHERE LAST_NAME like :P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||''%''';
end if;
return 'select EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME from EMPLOYEES ' ||mycond;
end;
And for escaping - are you interested in escaping the LIKE wildcards, or the quotes?
For escaping the wildcards in LIKE function so that when the user enters % you will find a record with % and not all functions, look into the SQL Reference:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/conditions007.htm
(You would than need to change the code of your function accordingly).
If you are interested in escaping the quotes, try to avoid concatenating the values entered by the user into the SQL. If you can, use bind variables instead - as I have in my example above. If you start concatenating the values into the text of SQL, you are open to SQLInjection - user can enter anything, even things that will break your SQL. If you really need to allow users to choose the operator, I would probably give them a separate combo for operators and a textfield for values, than you could check if the operator is one of the allowed ones and create the condition accordingly - and than still use bind variable for inserting the filtering value into the query.
