SQL Select into Nested Table

Hi,
I would like to be able to store results of a query in the database. So far, I believe the best method is to store it as a nested table so that I may refer to it by criteria (e.g. date, name, etc.). I am somewhat new to Oracle and I'm not sure how to do this.
The query will always return the same columns, so that should make it easier for me. Also, I need to be able to query the data that is stored into an APEX report region.
Can someone tell me if this is the best method to do this? Also, is there a tutorial anywhere that explains how to do what I want?
Thanks in advance,
-David

I'm not sure how to do this.Given that you're new to Oracle how did you decide the best approach was a nested table? As most people who know anything at all about Oracle would take the opposite view (as Dan has done).
Let's drill down into your requirements some more. How long do what to retain the results for? Do you want to retain the results of many queries? If so, will these queries be the same shape (same number and type of columns) or will they be different? Do you want one user to be able to see the results of another user's queries? Do you want to associate metadata with these result sets?
In fact, why do you want to be able to store these result sets at all? Oracle is actually pretty good at caching data, especially in 11g. So you may be re-inventing a wheel and designing it wonky at that.

Insert data into nested tables

Hi,
Can someone please advice how can I insert data into nested tables using APEX.
I have a table "employee" and a column addresses of type address_table_type object which has address1, address2, address3 columns. I want to create form in APEX that will collect address1, address2, address3. I wonder how to do this? should the item be based in database item? if yes then how can I point to the column of address_table_type
Thanks

Can you post your tabB type, sample data, and your exact insert statement?
Is it overwriting or not commiting the inserts?
Have you traced your session to see what is happening?

Hello Danny and welcome to the forum,
are you trying to insert data into a table which has a collection as a column ?
The phrase nested table was very misleading (at least for me), also the code you posted was kinda incomplete.
I could not follow the code you posted, alternately I am posting some sample code with the DDL and insert statements for your understanding.
create or replace type emp_obj as object
ejob varchar2(100),
comm number,

create table employee

/Populating the employee table with INSERT :
insert into employee values ('KING',7839,5000,emp_obj('PRESIDENT',0,10));
insert into employee values ('BLAKE',7698,2850,emp_obj('MANAGER',0,30));Now, querying the table for all columns with SELECT :
ENAME     EMPNO     ESAL     EDETAILS.EJOB     EDETAILS.COMM     EDETAILS.EDEPTNO
KING     7839     5000     PRESIDENT         0                 10
BLAKE     7698     2850     MANAGER       0                 30Hope it is now clear.

I think you dont have the table terminal referred in following select statement

ORA-00902 on trying to Select a Nested Table

I have created a Table having Nested Table as below:
create type INT_ARRAY as table of INTEGER;
create table test1 (
id number not null,
name varchar2(500),
prot_NT int_array,
constraint test1_pk primary key(id))

And I am doing following select using an executeQuery on a PreparedStatement (I am not using any oracle extensions. I am using JDK1.2.2 on Solaris with Weblogic 5.1 appServer. jdbc driver is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver version 8.1.6.0.0):
Select id, name, prot_nt from test1
Some times this executeQuery works fine. But some times I get SQLException with "ORA-00902: invalid datatype". Same tables and same query behaves differently at different times.
Is there any problem with this usage?? Is there any known problem? I am trying to get Nested Table to a int[]. What is recommended procedure for doing this? Please help me out! Thanks in advance!

By this point you've probably either solved the problem, or just dropped the database, but for anyone else interested, here's something you can do.
You can drop the queue table by setting event 10851 with the following steps:
1. Log into SQL*Plus or Server Manager as a user with DBA privileges.
2. Issue command: alter session set events '10851 trace name context forever, level 2'; Statement Processed.
3. Drop table <queue_table>; Statement Processed.
Solution Explanation: =====================
Event 10851 disables error 24005 when attempting to manually drop a queue table. It should be noted that this is the "Hard Way" of dropping queue tables, and should only be practiced after all formal procedures, i.e., using the "DBMS_AQADM.DROP_QUEUE_TABLE" procedure, has failed to drop the table.

Inserting Data into nested table

So only purpose of equivalent SQL types concept of nested tables is to use them as one of the data types while defining an actual table?
Sort of - you can definitely use them for more than just "defining an actual table". (I'm fairly certain you could pass a nested table into a procedure, for example - try it, though - I'm not 100% sure on that - it just "makes sense". If you can define a type, you can use it, pass it around, whatever.).
Ariean wrote:
And that nested table could be a record in SQL or an Object in PLSQL or just simple datatype(number,varchar etc)?
Nested tables are just like any other custom data type. You can create a nested table of other data types. You can create a custom data type of nested tables.
It could get stupidly .. er, stupid O_0
CREATE TYPE o_myobj1 AS object ( id1   number, cdate1 date );
CREATE TYPE t_mytype1 AS table of o_myobj1;
CREATE TYPE o_myobj2 AS object ( id2   number, dumb t_mytype1 );
CREATE TYPE t_dumber AS table of o_myobj2;
O_0
Ok, my brain's starting to hurt - I hope you get the idea

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.

Select from nested table

Hi,

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE tab_query AS TABLE OF obj_query;

,resultEmp tab_query)
NESTED TABLE resultEmp
STORE AS nested_queryEmp;
I would like the output of the table queryEmp like this:
id_row beginTrans queryA emp_id emp_first emp_last

101 John Queen
2 15:10 Select2 100 Leo King
101 Mett Queen
But Can I get this result with only SQL SELECT statement from this table?
I don't want to use PL/SQL, only SELECT in SQL*Plus.
Thank you
I'm sorry but output looks so bad.
So, I want to get the one row of id_row, beginTrans, queryA and all rows of nested table dmlStats to this "main" row and so on.
But not in PL/SQL
I hope, you understand me.
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

END IF;
END LOOP;

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.

Lookup by SQL select in ODS tables and source package

Hi all
I load FI data in ODS and need some extra info from older ODS records.
In my Update rule for target InfoObject I created 2 SQL selects on Active Data and New data tables of ODS. Selects worked fine while testing them as separate program, but I got no data while data load.
I guess, the data I need was in the same data package during data load. So I assume, besides Active/New data selects, I need to check data on SOURCE_PACKAGE. Is it possible on update rule level of InfoObject? Could you please, provide me some ABAP example?
thanx in advance, points will be awarded.

Value select from nested table

CREATE TYPE test AS OBJECT (
test1 varchar2(10),
test2 varchar2(10));
create or replace type test2 as table of test;
two record are there within object type.then how i will select value from nested table.

How many times are you going to ask this question before you either look at the response I have given to Re: how i will display type like (nestedtable or varrays or pl/sql table).?
You have posted often enough to this forum to know the ettiquette by now.

SQL: select into

Hello. In both sybase and sql server, you
can create on-the-fly tables in sql by
simply doing a
select column
into newtable
from oldtable
where blahblahblah
When I do the same in sql (not pl/sql)
I get the following error:
SQL> select empno
2 into myemp
3 from emp
4 where ename = 'SMITH';
into myemp
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00905: missing keyword
Is it possible to do this kind of select into
in Oracle?
Thanks!

I believe the syntax you're looking for is:
create table <tablename>
as select *
from (<original statement>)
