Stored Outline for Bind Variable

Hi,
Please let me know the use of stored outline to maintain the same execution plan for a sql which contains bind variable.
I know how to use stored outline for a sql which does not contain bind variable. But I want the use of stored outline for sql where bind variables have been used. Please provide an example.
Thanks,
Mrinmoy

    I also tried to declare variable of date from sqlplus but it seems sqlplus doesn't have any support for date datatype var declaration as bind variable.
    Thanks

    I think in this case you would have to take an approach like this:
    alter session set set create_stored_outlines=true;
    run your sql-statement (with a date bind variable), using anonymous plsql block.
    alter session set create_stored_outlines=false;
    Not sure though. It's been a while since I played around with outlines.

  • Asking for bind variable where none is needed

    Good Morning,
    I am still working these regexp date_time project.
    I have a problem where oracle is asking for a bind variable where it doesn't need any as far as I can see. I am trying to capture various date times in a column and formatting them into one default format used by oracle. Here is what I got which works before I wrap it in the TO_DATE function
    There are many when then's but I am using only one here.
    select case
    when regexp_substr(date_time,'^(0?[1-9]|1[0-2])/(0?[1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|3[0-1])/9[[:digit:]]{4}') is not null
    then regexp_substr(date_time,'^(0?[1-9]|1[0-2])/(0?[1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|3[0-1])/9[[:digit:]]{4}')
    else date_time
    end as new_time
    from raw_data;
    The above statement works
    Now when I want to format the date that I found with this:
    select case
    when regexp_substr(date_time,'^(0?[1-9]|1[0-2])/(0?[1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|3[0-1])/9[[:digit:]]{4}') is not null
    then TO_DATE('regexp_substr(date_time,'^(0?[1-9]|1[0-2])/(0?[1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|3[0-1])/9[[:digit:]]{4}')','MM/DD/YYYY')
    else date_time
    end as new_time
    from raw_data;
    I get a request to insert a value for the digit as a bind variable. The digit should be populated from the when statement when it returns not null when a date is found.
    Could some one please tell me even if what I wrote here is even possible or make a suggestion to the syntax to get around this issue?
    All this is going to be incorporated into an update statement later on.
    I am running this on sql developer, oracle 11g.
    Thanks for your help in this matter in advance.

    Al

    From looking at the code, as you have not supplied any scripts to create a table and demonstrate the error...
    Your case statement is trying to return two types
    select case
    when regexp_substr(date_time,'^(0?[1-9]|1[0-2])/(0?[1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|3[0-1])/9[[:digit:]]{4}') is not null
    then TO_DATE('regexp_substr(date_time,'^(0?[1-9]|1[0-2])/(0?[1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|3[0-1])/9[[:digit:]]{4}')','MM/DD/YYYY')
    else date_time
    end as new_time
    from raw_data;or simply
    select case when <expr>
                then <RETURN A DATE>
                else <RETURN A VARCHAR2>
            end as new_time
      from raw_data;The column cannot be both.
    Sorry I don't know your requirements.
    You could drop the else part and just return the converted date.
    You could fetch it back in two columns, the ones you can convert in one column (Which would be an oracle date type),
    the ones you cannot convert in another (which would be varchar2).

  • Prompt for bind variables in SQL developer

    Hi!
    Just installed the latest 3.2 version of SQL Developer, and tried to do an explain plan.
    Now the tool prompts me for values for the bind variable. It didn't do that in my previous version (version 3. something).
    Thats anoying :-)
    How do I disable that feature?
    Example:
    explain plan for
    select * from emp
    where department_id = :1;
    If i right click on the statement or press F10, I get no prompt for the bind variable...

  • Stored Procedure with bind variables

    Hello,
    I have problems when executing this sample code:
    Procedure Test (..., in_Param IN CHAR, ...)
    Query_Str := 'Select * from Table1 where column1 IN :in_Param';
    Open Cursor1 For Query_Str Using in_Param;
    This Cursor retuns rows when in_Param is 'A'
    This Cursor does not return any row if in_Param is ('A', 'B')
    Can you please help to track the error in this Query?
    Many thanks

    It seems to be that the bind variable is treated as a single discrete object. Hence
    'Select * from Table1 where column1 IN :in_Param';
    is functionally the same as
    'Select * from Table1 where column1 = :in_Param';
    so when in_Param is ('A', 'B'), what actually gets executed is
    Select * from Table1 where column1 = 'A, B';
    Not surprisingly this returns no rows.
    You can of course do this:
    'Select * from Table1 where column1 in( :x, :y, :z)';
    Open Cursor1 For Query_Str Using :i, :j, :k;
    So you could parse in_param yourself, populating the unused variables with nulls, so that if in_param = ('A, B') then i=A, j=B and k=null. Given that in 8i an IN string can have 1000 variables this could be a right mare if you don't put a cap on in_param.
    Your alternative is not to use a bind variable for this statement.

    It's normal and and happens due to bind variable datatype. In your case this is blob, (there are a couple of other datatypes - timestamp among other) which will be represented that way in the trace file.

  • Using arrays as type for bind variable

    Hi all,
    I have this stored procedures that takes an array of strings as an argument:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE mypackage AS
    TYPE StringArray IS VARRAY(100) OF VARCHAR2(16);
    PROCEDURE doSomething(v_strings IN StringArray);
    END;
    My java code looks something like:
    String[] strings = ...;
    CallableStatement cs = connection.prepareCall("CALL mypackage.doSomething(?)");
    cs.setObject(1, strings, java.sql.Types.ARRAY);
    calling the setObject method throws a SQLException: invalid column type.
    I have tried to change the call to:
    cs.setArray(1, new SqlStringArray(strings))
    where SqlStringArray is a wrapper around String[] that implements the java.sql.Array interface. This however throws a ClassCastException in oracle.jdbc.driver.OraclePreparedStatement. The latter is assuming it is receiving a class that implements yet another interface I guess.
    I also tried:
    cs.setObject(1, strings, java.sql.Types.VARCHAR);
    but that also throws a SqlException: invalid conversion requested
    Does anybody know how to bind String[] into a PreparedStatement?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Rudi.

    Made some progress. I am getting the OracleConnection from the WrappedConnection. This is a temporary solution for me so I would appreciate a final solution from anybody.
    I am now constructing a oracle.sql.ARRAY with an appropriate oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor. I have found out that the type must be defined on a global level rather than in the scope of the package. Would be good if an Oracle expert could confirm that but I am happy to live with that.
    The IN parameter is correctly bound using the ARRAY instance but I am getting the following error when actually executing the statement:
    ORA-06512: Reference to uninitialized collection: at "BLUETEST_MYPACKAGE", line 57
    Now I have found quite some problem descriptions with that ORA error but all are dealing with OUT parameters that were not correctly initialized, i.e. the array constructor had not been called. In my case however, the array is initialized at by the java code and then bount to the sql statement. You would expect that the jdbc driver takes care of correctly initializing the PL/SQL collection wouldn't you.
    Does anybody know if I need to do anything extra?
    Many thanks,
    Rudi.

    user603084 ,
    In the query you have specifies bind variable as :person_id , but in your VO execution code you are setting value for bind variable :1
    yvo.setWhereClauseParam(0,t);
    You need to change the bind variable in query , like :1
    and then execute the query of VO, as you have done. Also do executeQuery, after setting bind variables.

  • How to pass a value to a bind variable in a query report in oracle apex

    Hi Guys,
    I have requirement to send weekly reports via email to some users. The users should receive their own records in the report. The user details is stored in a table. What I am planning to do is to create a report query in oracle apex to generate the report and then run a function/procedure via a scheduler to email the report to respective users. Now my query is ............. is it possible to pass a value (user name) to the report query to pull records of only that user? I know we can have bind variables in the report query but I have no idea how to pass a value for bind variables from a function/procedure.
    Can anyone help me on this issue or suggest a better approach?

  • Declare bind variables

    Hi All,
    I have one application(Java) in which the front end sends a list of values to backend(Oracle). The issue is i dont know how many number of parameters(values) would be there, it depends all on front end. But i want these values in my backend processing and want to use them as bind variables, so that i can build dynamic sqls and make dynamic calls.
    Is there any way that i can declare all the values what i get from front end as bind variables so that they would be available for that user session and the backend can directly refer them as a normal variable, without referring to any other object.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear,
    Thanks for your answer, but the problem here is how to declare those variables ? if i declare them in a store procedure they would be local to that procedure and wont be available as bind variables.No.
    When using PL/SQL (static SQL) you will never encounter issues related to bind variables. PL/SQL itself takes care of yourcode and uses bind variables behind the scene.
    So, if you declare your variables inside a stored procedure, they will be automatically considered as bind variables. You don't have to care about. This is how PL/SQL (static SQL) works.
    The only situation where you have to look carefully to the use of bind variable within PL/SQL is when you use Dynamic sql into stored procedures or functions (this is in fact another reason to avoid using dynamic SQL).
    However, you need take care of the application which is calling your stored procedure. This calling application should call your stored procedure using input parameters as bind variables.
    Otherwise, the library cache of your shared pool will be full of calls to your stored procedure.
    Put it simply,
    (a) do what you want inside your PL/SQL strored procedure (static SQL and not Dynamic SQL)
    (b) call your stored procedure using bind variables
    Hope this helps

  • LOV(af:selectOneChoice) with bind variable in af:table

    Hi All,
    I have a table where a column is defined as dropdown(af:selectOneChoice). The query for selectOneChoice has a bind variable which needs to be set as a value from the base view Object corresponding row.
    Suppose a table Employee
    EmpId EmpName EmpType Authorization
    101 John Temp No
    The above table is created as af:table and 'Authorization' is implemented as dropdown(af:selectOneChoice) . The selectOneChoice has a query(AuthorizationLovVVO) with bind variable . For each row of af:table(EmployeeVO) , af:selectOneChoice query(AuthorizationLovVVO) requires
    the corresponding row(EmployeeVO) 'EmpType' to be set as value of bind variable.
    Can you please suggest how can we achieve this functionality.

    I have checked the following post where it has been suggested to access the the current row value as groovy expression.
    groovy for bind variable
    Suppose my AM name is 'TestAM' , i have tried the below expressions for value of bind variable but it does not work :
    1) adf.object.TestAM.findViewObject('EmployeeVO1').currentRow.EmpType
    2) adf.object.TestAMDataControl.findViewObject('EmployeeVO1').currentRow.EmpType
    None of the above expressions work and i get the error while running the page as 'Variable NotesAM is not recognized.' / 'Variable NotesAMDataControl is not recognized.' .
    Can you please suggest if we can achieve the functionality using this approach . Also let me know if i am missing something in the above expression.
